The Typing Lady

About this book

A spellbinding story collection about the lives we almost lived, the people we can’t quite forget, and the stories that shape us.. A college student falls for her professor and learns to transmute longing into language. A disquieted husband watches with tenderness and unease as the ghost of his wife’s ambition roams the woods outside their home. A long-deceased Beat poet hijacks the mind of a young publishing assistant during a sales meeting, railing against the state of modern literature. A curious grandmother creates a fake online dating profile to spy on her granddaughter’s romantic life—and sets in motion a deception she can’t control. Spanning eras and geographies, ***The Typing Lady*** is an electrifying meditation on the stories we tell ourselves, and the stories we become.
