Anthony Howell on Melissa McCarthy's PHOTO, PHYTO, PROTO, NITRO in The Fortnightly Review:"McCarthy’s rabbit-holing prompts the enchanted reader to engage in similar sleuthing. This is a book that has an effect on one’s thought." fortnightlyreview.substack.com/p/is-this-a-...

Can’t tell you what this means to me, Jeff. A fellow writer who has decided to read only small press books this year wrote to me and asked me to recommend what I thought were the best in the last ten years. I recommended three. Hashtag was one of them.
This book is, and I don't say this lightly, one of the most rewarding reading experiences of my life.
