"Reading Marcy Dermansky's Bad Marie is like spending a rainy afternoon in a smaller, older movie theater watching a charming French movie with a woman (or a man) you've just met on the street and already like far too much. It's sinful in all the right ways, delicate, seditious, and deliciously evil." -- Frederick Barthelme
"Dermansky excels at depicting extreme emotional states and how we rationalize them." --Village Voice
