The New York Times recommends Helen’s new book, THE ESCAPE ARTIST:

THE ESCAPE ARTIST: A Memoir, by Helen Fremont. (Gallery, 352 pp., $16.99.) Fremont’s previous memoir, revealing that her parents were Jewish rather than Catholic, led her father, who has since died, to update his will and declare her dead. He “metaphorically killed her for it,” our reviewer, Alexandra Styron, reasoned. What’s a writer to do but write another memoir to “understand why”?

Join Helen in person for a reading and discussion of her new memoir, The Escape Artist at the Peninsula Public Library.
