My first novel ACTS OF SERVICE was translated into seven languages and named a Best Book of 2022 by The New Yorker. The Guardian called it “a sex masterpiece” and the late Edmund White described it as “a book of exquisite moral refinement and almost intimidating elegance.” You can read more about it or buy it from my local bookshop.

My new novel WOMEN & CHILDREN is forthcoming in 2027 from Riverhead & Faber. You can read an excerpt of it in The New Yorker.

My latest writing is on Talia Chetrit for Art in America and on Claire-Louise Bennett for The New Yorker. My favorites are this essay on inequality and love and on what popular porn actually represents.

I’ve lived in New York since 2012. I have a BA from Barnard and an MFA from NYU. I’ve received fellowships from Yaddo, Ucross, and Marble House Project.
