In āA for Alone,ā a married artist embarks on a creative project intended to disprove the so-called Mike Pence Rule, which suggests that women and men canāt spend time alone together without lusting after each other. And in āLost but Not Forgotten,ā Sittenfeld gives readers of her novel Prep a window into the world of her beloved character Lee Fiora, decades later, when Lee attends an alumni reunion at her boarding school.
Hilarious, thought-provoking, and full of tenderness for her characters, Sittenfeldās stories peel back layer after layer of our inner lives, keeping us riveted to the page with her utterly distinctive voice.
