In the Round
A Kafkaesque mystery in which a woman is consumed by the belief her life has become a play with a murderous plot she must solve to survive.
"I read the opening pages of this remarkable book with a thrill of finding myself in the hands of a gifted conjuror, and finished in a state of total enchantment, profoundly moved." - Michael Chabon

Edie Richter is Not Alone
Edie Richter moves from San Francisco to remote Western Australia, and is haunted by an unthinkable act she can barely admit to herself. Gritty, realistic, and darkly hilarious, Andrew Sean Greer calls this “a perfect book.”
