NYT New in Paperback – THE ESCAPE ARTIST
November, 2020
New York Times recommends THE ESCAPE ARTIST - New in Paperback in November, 2020!
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”?
