"Lojman is a feverish account of the thrashings of an imprisoned body and soul and a hallucinatory examination of motherhood, individuality, and romantic love. A dark, original, exciting novel."– Ayşegül Savas, author of Walking on the Ceiling
"A parable of violence–of state mandation, of mothering alone, of being mothered, of the vastness of nature–that shocks the system like stepping out the front door into a snowstorm. What does it mean to be a woman, and to be mothered by women, who have suffered under such alienation? Ebru Ojen captures the experience of immense pain with dark fervor and deft lyricism."–Makenna Goodman, author of The Shame
"I've never read anything like Lojman. Ebru Ojen doesn't shy away–or let her readers shy away–from the darkest human emotions, which she evokes in exquisite, excruciating detail. This intense and visceral story of an abandoned family and their descent into chaos will stay with me for a long time."–Helen Phillips, author of The Need
"The most impressive aspect of Lojman is that it keeps the family out of its traditional patterns and recreates it with an uncompromising, malevolent reality."–Gazete Duvar (an online magazine in Turkey)
"Ojen has succeeded in building a distinctive language in Lojman, just as she did in her first novel, Vaccine."–Abdullah Ezik in Sanat Kritik
"Questioning social roles and institutions, [Lojman] also draws attention with its bold and unique narrative language"–T24
