''Crazy Water'' received the Mamdouha S. Bobst Prize for Emerging Fiction.
Critical responses to Baker's work have been generous. Man Booker Prize-winning novelist John Banville wrote, "''The Glass Ocean'' is that rarest of things, a historical novel, or at least a novel set in history, that is also a work of art. Lori Baker is a captivating storyteller, and her prose has the flash and fire of molten glass."〔(Penguin Press ), August 2013〕 Other praise for the novel has come from Clare Clark, Bill Goldstein,〔NBC New York, (The Today Show ), 11 August 2013〕 and novelist Thomas Pynchon. According to WorldCat, the book is held in 706 libraries 〔(WorldCat book entry )〕
Along with her writing, Baker is part of the International Writers Project steering committee at Brown University.,〔(Literary Arts ), Brown University〕 a project founded in 2003; each year, the IWP brings one visiting fellow to Brown for the academic year. The fellow is a prominent or emerging literary writer who has faced serious difficulties because of her or his writing (such as severe harassment, censorship, imprisonment, death threats). The project was founded by the novelist Robert Coover, and is currently overseen by Baker, Erik Ehn and Gale Nelson.
