Jen Silverman Książki

This debut short-story collection captivates with its unique blend of wit, transgression, and emotional depth. Readers will find themselves immersed in a variety of narratives that explore complex themes and characters, reminiscent of the styles of Miranda July, Rebecca Lee, and Mary Gaitskill. Each story offers a fresh perspective, inviting contemplation and connection through its engaging storytelling.

Reading like a cross between Shelia Heti's How Should A Person Be? and Lily King's Writers & Lovers, We Play Ourselves is a wildly entertaining debut novel of female rage, self-sabotage, the pursuit of fame and the costs of artistic ambition.

Jen Silverman boldly transforms this classic play by Jacobean playwrights William Rowley, Thomas Dekker and John Ford, using a contemporary lens to make the machinations of the distant past strikingly relevant to today.
