Published Books
Summerlong
“Provocative, sultry… the novel stays light on its feet; its breezy chapters are laced with sex and humor… between the louche vibe and matriarchal presence, the novel often feels like Armistead Maupin’s San Francisco teleported to the Midwest.”
— Kirkus
My American Unhappiness
“My American Unhappiness deserves a hallowed place on the shelf somewhere among Studs Terkel's Working and Walker Percy's The Moviegoer. ”
— Benjamin Percy, The Wilding and Refresh, Refresh
Please Don’t Come Back From The Moon
“Gorgeous, painful, and exquisitely written, Please Don't Come Back From the Moon is about the impossible things we believe because the truth may simply be too hard.”
— The Boston Globe
