Jami Attenberg is the author of the novels “The Melting Season” (Riverhead, January 2010) and “The Kept Man” as well as a story collection, “Instant Love.”
Interview said that “The Kept Man” is “told with wit and verve” and “a challenge to apathy — it’s a novel about remaining constructive in the face of personal change.” People raved that, “written in relaxed yet fresh prose, Attenberg’s debut is unabashedly emotional, refreshingly devoid of New York City cynicism, and tenderly funny.”
Her fiction has been published by Nerve and Pindeldyboz, and her work has also appeared in the anthologies “Love is a Four-Letter Word: True Stories of Breakups, Bad Relationships and Broken Hearts,” “Future Misbehavior” and “Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant.”
