Career

It received starred reviews in Kirkus and Publishers Weekly, [5] [6] as well as reviews in The Guardian , [7] Rolling Stone , [8] The New York Times , [9] and NPR. [10] Columbia called it one of the ten best books ever written at The Hungarian Pastry Shop. [11]
Magariel's sophomore novel, Walk the Darkness Down, was released in August 2023. [12] [13] Magariel spent a few weeks at sea on a commercial fishing boat to research the novel, [14] which Literary Hub named one of their most anticipated books of 2023. [15] Booklist called the novel "a modern Hemingway." [16]
In an interview with Literary Hub, Magariel said, "It’s liberating to discover that the real pleasure of writing comes in the act itself, in the obsessive and hesitant labor, in the sustained years-long meditation, in the slow and methodical tinkering toward beauty and meaning, and not in what anyone has to say, least of all me." [17]
Magariel founded Convent Arts Fellowship and the Director of Arts at the Cape May Point Science Center in New Jersey. [18]
