Mauro, Nancy

Nancy Mauro is the author of the novel “New World Monkeys,” which will be published in September by Shaye Areheart Books.

Booklist raved that “Mauro perfectly balances humor and soulfulness in this poisonously funny, torchlight eerie, psychologically astute tale of archaic instincts, deviance, and violence. ”

And Kirkus called it as “a brave and accomplished debut: weird, disturbing and intensely engaging.”
