Her friend Ena however, retained her wealth. Her parents now dead, she finds herself sustained only by the support of a totalitarian, oppressive government that was partially responsible for her current state. Nada is the story of two families, both of whom belonged to the same socio-economic class before the war, but because of the senseless brutality of the Spanish Civil War, the culture is in shambles, which means for the protagonist, Andrea, that life will never be the same. ![]() Written by people who wish to remain anonymous We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.

I’ve written for almost every publishing house in NYC, and THIS IS NOT NORMAL. But my publishing house talked me into traveling to NYC for the International Thriller Writers Conference, and editors took me and my daughter to a broadway musical.

Brendan Fraser has officially solidified his Hollywood comeback as a newly minted Oscar winner. But I was happy to make it that far, happy to be recognized. ![]() When I got the news that The Body Reader was a finalist for Best Original Paperback, I was thrilled, but imposter syndrome soon kicked in and I told myself no chance in hell would I win. Did it touch you in some way? Am I still learning and still growing? Is every book better than the last? These are the things I strive for. The compelling hope for a hit and recognition. ![]() ![]() I suspect that’s what keeps a lot of us going. And yet…there’s always the dream that the next one will be THE book-the breakout everybody talks about. For the most part I’ve toiled in obscurity, keeping my head down while simply hoping my stories entertain people for a few hours.

Sophie Stark begins her filmmaking career by creating a documentary about her obsession, Daniel, a college basketball star. Gripping and provocative, The Life and Death of Sophie Stark is a haunting story of fame, love, and legacy told through the propulsive rise of an iconoclastic artist. Anna North makes prose look easy.” -Lena Dunham The analysis of a woman who puts her art above all else is equal parts inspiration and warning story. “This novel is perceptive, subtle, funny and lingers in unexpected ways. Not only a dissection of genius and the havoc it can wreak, but also a thunderously good story.” -Emma Donoghue, New York Times bestselling author of Room “I read The Life and Death of Sophie Stark with my heart in my mouth. ![]() ![]() ![]() Winner of the 2016 Lambda Literary Award for Bisexual Fiction ![]() ![]() ![]() Slam surprised me by being a little bit sadder than his others, at least as I remember them. These narrative voices teeter on the edge of twee, but Hornby always pulls the story back to a place that’s a little bit sadder, a little bit more real. They tell their stories with deadpan wit and honesty, which makes you feel better about your own self-centered-jackass tendencies. Hornby has been called the master of the “male confessional” novel, which means his books are usually narrated by an eminently likable, basically decent, self-centered jackass. ![]() Partly because I think he’s really good, but also because I thought his signature style and perspective might be perfect for a teenage character. When I found out Nick Hornby had written a young adult novel, I was excited. ![]() ![]() In hindsight, Steely Dan’s Zelig-like presence in sample-based hip-hop looks like a harbinger of the band’s current renaissance: A duo that was one of the most polarizing acts in rock even at its peak, in the 1970s, has lately acquired an army of new fans, many of them remarkably young. But what was it doing in a pop song? “Rikki” ’s strange combination of jazz, rock, and R&B, alchemized into a near-frictionless sonic slickness, seemed antithetical to the grunge-era ethos of anti-establishment, heart-on-your-sleeve authenticity. I recognized the bass piano line from Horace Silver’s bossa-jazz chestnut “Song for My Father,” because I’d played it in my own jazz-piano lessons. The guy singing in a plaintive, nasal voice seemed pretty sure that Rikki was, in fact, going to lose that number every time he sang “And you could have a change of hea-a-art,” a gnarled run of notes followed that sounded oddly aggressive. I knew the band’s 1974 hit, “ Rikki Don’t Lose That Number,” a steady presence on classic-rock radio, but I had trouble wrapping my head and ears around it. Steely Dan was also in the midst of a decades-long hiatus from releasing new studio albums, after putting out seven from 1972 to 1980. Steely Dan-the musical handle of the songwriting pair Walter Becker and Donald Fagen-was considered toxically uncool. ![]() Music obsessive that I was, this confounded me.
