"Joshua Hren has crafted a novel that is as spiritually challenging as it is beautifully written. Blue Walls Falling Down delves into the complexities of human existence, offering a poignant meditation on the search for meaning in a world often overshadowed by loss and uncertainty. This is a novel that will linger in the hearts and minds of readers long after the final page."

-Luke Burgis, author of Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life

"Joshua Hren's Blue Walls Falling Down conveys the loneliness, desperation, and extremism that afflict America in our time. The novel's memorable characters yearn for family, seek forgiveness, and search for justice. Synthesizing a fascinating array of influences (from Joseph Conrad to Jack Kerouac, Flannery O'Connor to Ralph Ellison and America's jazz masters) and exploring the peripheries of urban poverty and political radicalism, Hren has written an ambitious and poetic tragedy."

-Christopher J. Scalia, ed. Scalia Speaks and On Faith

"A rare bird . . . not just a brilliant novel but, in the truest sense, a divine comedy."

-The Los Angeles Review of Books review of Infinite Regress

"We few, we happy few, who follow the world of Catholic fiction like it's a major league championship, welcome a new frontrunner."

-Australia's Catholic Weekly review of Infinite Regress

"The mending words of Joshua Hren tickle our word-shaped fancy and testify to truths eternal."

-R.R. Reno, editor of First Things

"What an intense read​!​ The novel keeps asking the reader, 'How do you live if you're going to die?' Infinite Regress faces the evils and tragedies of our current cultural moment with prophetic eyes."

-Jessica Hooten Wilson

" . . . the novel's most canny feature: penetratingly funny satires of the shallowness of contemporary American life. It surpasses C. S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters in its originality, cunning, speed, and penetration into the mystery of evil."

-The University Bookman review of Infinite Regress

" . . . a stunning combination of alliterative verse and a Joycean stream of consciousness reminiscent of Ulysses."
