Enter Bear

From Kate Walbert, National Book Award Finalist and New York Times bestselling author of A Short History of Women, comes an inventive and time-bending novel set on a college campus and in the New York Theatre world, with a seductive cast of friends, lovers, and liars.

Tuesday Howard is a playwright whose work and life are shaped by Harold Pinter’s iconic play Betrayal. Tuesday falls in with a lively theater crowd in the first days of her freshman year at college, and the trajectory of her life and art are changed. Over the ensuing years and decades old friends, collaborators, lovers, and enemies are omnipresent forces—humorous, sometimes dangerous, instructive.

Dazzling at the sentence level, structurally complex, and exhilaratingly insightful, Enter Bear is about time, memory, and how writers make art out of life.
