I'll be
at the microphone, reading
at BookCourt next Monday, April 21, with six other ladies from Julia Fierro's post-MFA workshop. Come out for all or part. Libations will probably follow.
Creative Writing. My short stories "Balcony," "In The Desert" (a Passover story, subscribers-only in Lilith) and "Disorder," all part of my novel-in-stories, are newly-published for your instapapering or reading pleasure! If you read them all together (along with "Empty Nest" from a year and a half ago) that's like...a quarter of my novel, and you can get a sense of the larger work. As always with fiction, any feedback or social media sharing you can offer would be really welcome.
Literary larks: This category has a lively, playful disposition. A parody of Henry James, a sexed-up reading of Middlemarch, and a comparison of the heroines of Pride and Prejudice and the House of Mirth--all at The Hairpin and The Toast. Also The Ross Douthat Book Club.
Personal essays. My (warning: very sad) personal essay about different kinds of grief is also up at Modern Loss, and a lighter essay about Bridget Jones at Volume 1. Brooklyn.
SPOILERS! I covered the crap out of the
last episode of How I Met Your Mother, with pieces at
Vulture and
Modern Loss (the Good Wife is covered in the latter piece, too).
That's it. See you in the summer. Thanks so much for reading, as always.
Book projects! The Forward's Jewish and Transgender series is an ebook, thanks to intrepid Naomi Zeveloff. And Extract(s) is putting out a print edition that includes a piece of "flash fiction" by me! (It's Volume 2).
That's it. See you in the summer. Thanks so much for reading, as always.
