Liza Klaussmann tells us some books that she loves.
What’s the last book you loved, and why?
Dare Me by Megan Abbott: sinister, funny and sharp as hell.
Which literary character do you secretly wish you were?
Lady Brett Ashley, from The Sun Also Rises. What a woman.
What was your big rite-of-passage book as a teenager?
The Collected Works of Anne Sexton. Confessional poetry dovetails nicely with the drama and self-absorption of adolescence.
What was the best (or worst) part of the publishing process?
Watching a stranger in a bookstore buy my novel.
What’s a question you’d prefer never to be asked again in interviews?
‘Why historical novels?’ I mean, why not? Is the present day so very compelling as all that?
Tigers in Red Weather
A book by Booki.sh
