What The Reviewers Say

Tahneer Oksman,
Boston Globe
Wholly original and often surprising.
Donna Edwards,
AP News
Despite the extreme weight of the story, the density of the historical context and the way every bit of space is utilized to communicate pictorially or verbally, that information is surprisingly digestible — and even nourishing.
Martin Dolan,
Los Angeles Review of Books
What’s most compelling about Feeding Ghosts isn’t its narrative. It’s the way Hulls’s voice interjects throughout and questions her own assumptions about so-called "history".
Marissa Moss,
New York Journal of Books
Hull is deeply honest and vulnerable in these pages.
