Jason Carroll
Holloway

Jason Carroll Holloway holds an M.A. in English Literature from Mercy University in Dobbs Ferry, New York, as well as various degrees and certificates in Psychology, Sociology, Creative Writing, and Data Analytics. He is a writer and researcher whose work explores the intersection of acoustic science, medieval scholarship, and human consciousness. He lives in Kansas City.

The Masters X Trilogy follows Blake Masters, Nadia Volkov, and Andrew Chen across three novels. The research program they construct in the fiction is built from real data: cave acoustics, cathedral measurements, and medieval text traditions. The Analysis Chamber on this site runs the same data Andrew runs in the novels.

Holloway's monograph on John Hawkes began as a Masters thesis and became something larger: an account of how a writer can use a single recurring image to dismantle an entire theological tradition across seventeen novels.

Seventh City Press was founded as the publishing home for work that operates at the intersection of imaginative and intellectual ambition: novels that think, and criticism that speaks.
