Saroyan, Strawberry

Strawberry Saroyan is the author of the memoir “Girl Walks Into a Bar.”

Thomas Beller said that “What puts Girl Walks into a Bar in the league of those mythic Manhattan girl books and essays like ‘Goodbye to All That’ is not the activities described, the scenes, the moves, but rather the sifting through and making sense of those scenes and moves and jobs and, best of all, ambitions. Specifically, ambition itself, and procrastination — of growing up — are anatomized with a relentlessly perceptive and clear eye.” 

Her writing has also appeared in the New York Times, Salon, Open City, the Los Angeles Times and many other publications.

She lives in Los Angeles.
