Entry updated 15 September 2025. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US author whose third novel, Rooms for Vanishing (2025), partially unpacks the complexities of grief and bereavement of a Jewish family, some of whom are Holocaust survivors (see Holocaust Fiction), through a central device from the megatext of Fantastika: the ghosts haunting various characters can be understood as figures of substantial being from more than one Multiversal reality. The central family's profound refusal of acceptance of its decimation in this world is conveyed with reverence for the stakes involved. The worlds in Rooms for Vanishing may somehow be somehow true.
