Jami Attenberg is the author of eight books of fiction, including A Reason To See You Again (her most recent novel), Instant Love, The Kept Man, The Melting Season, The Middlesteins, Saint Mazie, and All Grown Up. She is also the author of a memoir, I Came All This Way to See You, and 1000 Words: Stay Creative, Focused, and Productive All Year Long, an inspirational book based on her grassroots literary movement, “1000 Words of Summer.” The book includes thoughts on the creative lifecycle and the craft and art of writing, as well as original letters of advice and support from dozens of authors.
“Prickly and unsentimental, but never quite hopeless, Attenberg. The poet laureate of difficult families, captures the relentlessly lonely beauty of being alive.” – Kirkus
