Description

In the third title in the Bookmarked series, Paula Bomer discusses the effect on her life and work of The Man Who Loved Children, the 1940 novel by Australian writer Christina Stead. TIME magazine included the novel in its '100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005', and the novel has been championed as a classic by novelists Robert Stone, Angela Carter and Jonathan Franzen, who called it 'lyrical in the true sense, every observation and description bursting with feeling, meaning and subjectivity.'

Author Biography:

Paula Bomer is the author of the collection, Inside Madeleine (Soho Press, 2014), and the novel Nine Months (Soho Press, 2012), which received exuberant reviews in The Atlantic, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, The Minneapolis Star Tribune and elsewhere. Her collection, Baby and Other Stories (Word Riot Press, 2010), received a starred review in Publishers Weekly, calling it a "lacerating take on marriage and motherhood...not one to share with the Mommy and Me group", Kirkus Review deemed it "a worthy, if challenging, entry into the genre of transgressional fiction", and O Magazine referred to it as a "brilliant, brutally raw debut." She also is the publisher of Sententia Books and edits Sententia: The Literary Journal.
