I'm not very good at this website (see: my response time on this question). I do have two books coming out, one in June 2020, and one two years later. Both novels, both follow uncanny women down joyful, troubling roads (one road is a wedding aisle).(less)

Marie-Helene Bertino, 2 A.M. at The Cat's Pajamas

Topics Mentioning This Author

“Music fills the space between them. Mark wants to take the pill that keeps him awake, but not in front of his daughter. Instead, he flirts. "There's a lot of trouble with a brown-eyed handsome man. In your travels have you found this to be true?"
This is Madeleine's favorite game. His role is to ask silly questions and hers is to answer as if he is serious, neither one acknowledging the other conversation that goes on wordlessly around them, in which some other, better version of themselves say: Isn't it nice to be father and daughter?”
Marie-Helene Bertino, 2 A.M. at The Cat's Pajamas

“It is dark, dark seven A.M. on Christmas Eve Eve.”
Marie-Helene Bertino, 2 A.M. at The Cat's Pajamas

“The heavy thud of the front door closing. He leaves the phone on the desk. The hallway is dark and long and empty. "Louisa?" His voice echoes against the walls as if he is asking himself her name.”
Marie-Helene Bertino, 2 A.M. at The Cat's Pajamas

“Bob Dylan never has his own cigarettes. I thought this was charming at first.”
Marie-Helene Bertino, Safe as Houses

“I'm a minor character in my own life.”
Marie-Helene Bertino, 2 A.M. at The Cat's Pajamas
