Lynne Tillman writes experimental American fiction and essays about art, identity, relationships and the unstable meanings produced by ordinary social encounters. Haunted Houses follows three young women through childhood and adulthood in fragmented episodes rather than a single continuous plot. No Lease on Life compresses one woman's anger, insomnia and neighbourhood frustration into a single New York day, while American Genius, A Comedy follows a woman in an institution whose thoughts range across skin, textiles, history and social embarrassment. Tillman's essays frequently move between contemporary art, books and cultural observation. Her prose is sharp, associative and psychologically restless, with digression often more important than conventional narrative momentum. Her work fits experimental fiction, New York writing and art-world literary fiction. Read more Less
