THE SEQUEL is now out!

I hope everyone enjoys it! One thing you get asked when you write a sequel is: can you read it without heaving read the first novel (in this case, THE PLOT)? The answer is, well, sure, but why would you want to? Read THE PLOT first and be ready for maximum fun and games (some of them murderous) in THE SEQUEL.

A gentle reminder NOT to ask me to be a Goodreads friend, or follow my reviews. I probably Read more of this blog post »

Jean Korelitz answered Heidi Ehrhart's question: Hi Jean, I picked up The Plot randomly at the library and loved it! Your prose is perfect while the stories are page turners - I’m hooked, and I’m enjoying your previous work as well as The Sequel. Are you working on something new? You are now one of the authors whose releases I anticipate with excitement! Best wishes, Heidi Taking a bit of a break post THE SEQUEL, but will be back at work soon! many thanks, Jean

“Good writers borrow, great writers steal. —T. S. Eliot (but possibly stolen from Oscar Wilde)”

“There is a sound to waiting. It sounds like held breath pounding its fists against the walls of the lung, damp and muffled beats.”

“Once you were in possession of an actual idea, you owed it a debt for having chosen you, and not some other writer, and you paid that debt by getting down to work, not just as a journeyman fabricator of sentences but as an unshrinking artist ready to make painful, time-consuming, even self-flagellating mistakes.”
― Jean Hanff Korelitz, The Plot
