Huneven, Michelle

Michelle Huneven is the author of three novels: “Blame,” “Jamesland” and “Round Rock.”

In its review of “Blame,” the Los Angeles Times said that “the satisfactions ‘Blame’ offers readers are elegant prose and, deeper than that aesthetic pleasure, the intelligence and compassion Huneven brings to her characters. She holds them all with the utmost tenderness.” In GQ, Matthew Klam added that “there are so many eye-popping scenes I would need to take my shoes off to count them.”

Her nonfiction includes restaurant reviews for the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Weekly, other food journalism and, with Bernadette Murphy, the “Tao Gals Guide to Real Estate.”

She has received a General Electric Foundation Award for Younger Writers and a Whiting Writers’ Award for fiction.

Michelle lives in Altadena, California with her husband, Jim Potter.
