My current projects:
I've taken a break to carry, give birth to, and start to raise my twin boys, but stay tuned for new projects, coming soon (maybe their third birthday?)!
Check out my blog, and feel free to email me to ask me to talk with your book group. Just scroll down the page and click "contact this poster."
Praise for previous books:
The Falling Nun and Other Stories (Scribner, February 2003):
"Every story in Pamela Rafael Berkman’s new collection is thoroughly engaging because her vivid, angled characters always manage to snag us on their jagged hopes and fears."
-- Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls
"The rituals of young urban women (office games, TV watching, parties, dating) mesh with darker ceremonies (tattooing, witchcraft, self-mutilation) in this collection of 12 fresh and vibrant stories....Berkman (Her Infinite Variety) has an uncanny understanding of a particular contemporary subclass of young women and captures them empathically and vividly."
-- Publishers Weekly, Dec. 23, 2002
Her Infinite Variey: Stories of Shakespeare and the Women He Loved (Scribner, June 2001):
"What a brave piece of work, to imagine Shakespeare's women . . . a book to stimulate the imagination and remind us of the richness of the Bard's legacy."
-- Susan Vreeland, author of Girl in Hyacinth Blue
