"Sherman
is a writer attuned to grotesqueries of daily life. Her fictions play
out as if under a magnifying glass, with each character's flaws—both
physical and psychological—expanded a thousandfold, in a manner
that recalls Mary Gaitskill and A.M. Homes."
—Los Angeles Times
"From the same stock as writers like Lorrie Moore and Amy Hempel,
Sherman’s characters thrive under her incredibly particular, telescopic
descriptions of the fucked-up human condition. Strange little moments
sparkle with humor . . . and others are so humane, they break your heart."
—The Faster Times
"A
riveting debut novel... Unsentimental yet deeply felt, this tale examines
what bubbles under the surface of a supposedly happy Long Island family."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Here we have the fractured lives of three generations of women told
with zero sentimentality and a huge amount of heart. Living Room
is edgy, smart, funny, and altogether human. Rachel Sherman is the real
deal."
—Dani Shapiro, author of Black and White
