Cris' novels Waterbaby and Disability are reviewed in a feature in the fall 2009 Rain Taxi.
Her essay "Too Much of Moi," on the overuse and misuse of first-person POV, appeared in the October 2009 AWP Writer's Chronicle.
Mazza uses an impressionistic technique to create characters so unusual, they become emblems for whole orders of social ills. ... [She] brings a psychological awareness that would make Stephen King squirm.
St. Petersburg Times
Mazza continues to work with passion, insight, and a certain cold beauty.
Publisher's Weekly
Talent jumps off her like an overcharge of electricity.
LA Times Book Review
Literary sitcoms from hell... Ms. Mazza is a subversive, anarchistic writer... hardly forgettable.
Wall Street Journal
Stories that are remarkable for the force and freedom of their imaginative style.
NY Times Book Review
Her characters take no prisoners and expect no quarter... a sometimes surreal journey to a nihilistic destination.
New Letters Book Reviews
Mazza is one cold comedian.
Kirkus Reviews
Mazza is one of the most impressive American novelists of our contemporary age, having written a wide range of novels with depth that just begin to reveal her abilities.
