Career
Iredell's writing has been positively reviewed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution [2] and The Brooklyn Rail . [3]
Writing in 2010, the Quarterly Conversation said of Prose, Poems, a Novel that "The title of the collection serves as a bold declaration of war on the boundaries of genre. Iredell is not flouting the rules of genre, though. Instead, Iredell weaves his three titular genres together into a form that is all its own, containing elements of each." [4]
Nailed Magazine wrote of The Book of Freaks in 2011, that “Iredell has produced an absolute masterpiece of the absurd and surreal – a faux-encyclopedia that contains pieces of everything and everyone you have ever encountered in your life.” [5]
In 2014, Publishers Weekly noted of I Was a Fat Drunk Catholic School Insomniac, that it is “An entertaining and insightful collection often interested in the messy and difficult aspects of life.” [6]
Los Angeles Magazine listed Last Mass among "6 Books You Need to Read this August" [7] in 2015. Also, in 2015, Slate wrote about Last Mass as “An exemplary work of creative nonfiction in the vein of Maggie Nelson’s Argonauts." [8]
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has called his writing "wildly imaginative". [9] His 2018 novel The Fat Kid drew comparison to Cormac McCarthy. [10]
In addition to writing, he teaches college literature and creative writing. [11] [12] [13]
