Check out Helen’s interview on the Boston Book Festival’s Audio on Demand:
Memoirs: Secrets, Lies and the Mysteries of Our Youth

Helen’s interview appears first, followed by Betsy Bonner, and finally Nick Flynn.

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”?

Helen’s essay “Pendulum” was selected as a Finalist in Solstice Literary Magazine’s Annual Contest.  Judged by Megan Marshall.  Read the essay here.

Helen will be featured as one of the memoirists at the Boston Book Festival 2020 in October.  Stay tuned for her audio interview.
