The Typing Lady: And Other Fictions

A spellbinding story collection about the lives we almost lived, the people we can't quite forget, and the stories that shape us..

A college student falls for her professor and learns to transmute longing into language. A disquieted husband watches with tenderness and unease as the ghost of his wife's ambition roams the woods outside their home. A long-deceased Beat poet hijacks the mind of a young publishing assistant during a sales meeting, railing against the state of modern literature. A curious grandmother creates a fake online dating profile to spy on her granddaughter's romantic life-and sets in motion a deception she can't control.

Spanning eras and geographies, The Typing Lady is an electrifying meditation on the stories we tell ourselves, and the stories we become.
