Mary Gordon, The Liar's Wife The beloved author at her storytelling best: four wonderful novellas of Americans abroad and Europeans in America. In these tales of relationships at home and abroad, both historical and contemporary, we meet the ferocious Simone Weil during her final days as a transplant to New York City; a vulnerable American grad student who escapes to Italy after her first, compromising love affair; the charming Irish liar of the title novella, who gets more out of life than most of us; and an American high school kid meeting Thomas Mann. These stories dazzle on the surface, with beautifully rendered settings and vistas, and dig deep psychologically. At every turn Gordon reveals in her characters' interactions those crucial flashes of understanding that change lives forever. So richly developed it is hard to believe they fit into novella-sized packages, these tales carry us away both as individual stories and as a larger, book-length experience of Gordon's mastery and human sympathy.

 Liz Moore and Alex Gilvarry, Heft and From the Memoirs of a Non-Enemy Combatant “ Heft is a work that radiantly combines compassion and a clear eyed vision. This is a novel of rare originality and sophistication.” Mary Gordon author of Pearl“It’s rare for a novel to tread so fearlessly into the political and yet to emerge so deeply funny and humane.

Liz Moore is a writer and musician. Her debut novel, The words of every song, was published in 2007, and she recently released her album Backyards. She is a professor at Holy Family University in Philadelphia, where she lives.

She was an only child, raised in a tightly-knit and pious Catholic home. She began writing as a child and dreamed of becoming a nun. The loss of her father in 1957, when she was seven years old, was the most important event of her youth, and she would later channel her grief into many works of fiction, and finally into her memoir, The Shadow Man: A Daughter’s Search for her Father (1996). She attended Barnard College over her mother's objections (as it was not a Catholic institution) and worked at a series of secretarial and babysitting jobs in order to pay her way. She became involved in the feminist and anti-war movements of the late 1960s, and has continued to contribute to progressive causes throughout her life. She received an M.A. from Syracuse University, but left short of a Ph.D. in order to marry Jim Brain, an English professor nearly 30 years her senior. She taught writing at Duchess County Community College, and lived with her husband in London for a year. Her first marriage dissolved when she became involved with Arthur Cash, another much-older English professor; they married in 1979. Her first novel, Final Payments, was published in 1978 to tremendous critical acclaim, followed quickly by The Company of Women in 1981. Although she continued to write poetry, essays, reviews and nonfiction, her attention was divided for a time by the birth of her two children, and it was four years before her next book was published. She became the Millicent Macintosh Chair of English at Barnard College. The New York Times has called her "her generation's preeminent novelist of Roman Catholic mores and manners." Other works include Men and Angels (1985), The Other Side (1989), Pearl (2005), The Love of My Youth (2011), The Rest of Life: Three Novellas (1994), and The Liar's Wife (2014).  | |
