Brian Carr liked Pete's review of Bad Foundations: "a story about work and the dark space underneath us and how we curse ourselves. when i say dark spaces underneath i mean both literally crawlspaces and not literally crawlspaces. also it's much funnier and dumber (not derogatory) than i made it sound" Read more of this review »

Brian Carr liked Rebecca Evans's review of Opioid, Indiana: "To be honest, I’m shocked that the average rating is so low. I’m so glad to have happened upon it. The writing is phenomenal and it’s relatively fast paced—I value both of those qualities and it’s rare to find them in the same book. I have a student " Read more of this review »

Quotes by Brian Allen Carr (?)

“I guess the best part of music is that there's not much unknown. Especially in country, because it's always someone leaving or dying or drinking or fighting or loving the United States or talking about God, and the music's simple mostly.”

“It’s weird how some things you remember and some things you forget. And it’s weird how you don’t get to decide. You can’t trim away things from your brain that you wish weren’t there, and you can’t dig out the memories that seem lost forever. Your brain shows you what it wants you to see. Your mind is totally at its mercy.”
― Brian Allen Carr, Opioid, Indiana
