Maria Adelmann \u201907<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Classic fairy tale characters are re-imagined as women in a trauma support group in Adelmann\u2019s debut novel<\/a>, set in present-day New York City. The characters include one coping with the fallout of a failed romance with a psychopathic (and blue-bearded) billionaire and another who has troubling memories of being held captive in a house made of candy. \u201cAdelmann travels the well-worn paths of some of the Brothers Grimm\u2019s most famous fairy tales with stylistic panache and 21st-century verve,\u201d Kirkus<\/em> says in a starred review. \u201cHowever, it’s her nuanced consideration of our own culpability that makes this book unique. In the end, Adelmann\u2019s true subject is actually her audience, the great anonymous \u2018we\u2019 who consumes the horrors of violent husbands, ravaging wolves, hungry witches, and made-for-TV love stories with such compulsive demand we never pause to think what might come after the happy ending. Both a meditation on trauma and a sendup of our society\u2019s obsession with scripted reality, this book sings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
