“Rivera-Dundas is making a formal artistic practice of paying attention to the way ‘small things expand.’ Illuminating the absurdity is the point. Why can’t art be made of this, the drudgery that so often undergirds its inglorious production? The metafictional answer, of course, is that it can be, it has, in the form of a novel you can hold in your hands.” - McKenzie Watson-Fore in Full Stop

“Slow Guillotine is a reminder that no matter how small or disempowered our choices might feel, we can still choose to bridge the gaps as we are able. We can still decide to create no matter who sees. We can live intentionally and not sleepwalk through systems that benefit from our disembodied exhaustion. And above all, we can choose each other.” - Chelsea C. Jackson in The Maine Review
