About this author

Daphne is pleased to announce the April 2011 release of Hotel No Tell, featuring the return of Super in the City 's hapless, lovable heroine, Zephyr Zuckerman.

Publishers Weekly has already called it a "refreshing, smart caper novel [that] will appeal to anyone who loves well-plotted mysteries and funny, off-the-wall characters” while Booklist says it's "an "irrepressible sequel...Snappy crime fiction with a sensitive side and a loving look at the Big Apple.”

Daphne also co-edited, with Deborah Siegel, the acclaimed anthology Only Child: Writers on the Singular Joys and Solitary Sorrows of Growing Up Solo. The paperback edition is available in paperback from Three Rivers Press in bookstores and online.

I so wanted to like this -- an interesting lens through which to view Israel, perhaps? But I fear it was poorly translated. So plodding. I suspect it's much better in the original.

Daphne Uviller Okay, I'm finally determined to make better use of Goodreads -- as a reader, more than as a writer. After a lifetime of reading, because my brain is a sieve, I have trouble recalling even those books that made the biggest impressions on me. Sometimes I can't remember the two hundred plus books I've reviewed. I won't try to list the thousands of books in my past, but going forward, I hope to keep a record here.
This is as much a note to myself as to anyone who cares to read this!


Richard Hi, Daph --

It's the end of semester, and in addition to term papers and finals (or because of them), I'm reading trash: Michael B. Parker, stuff like that. Also Best Science Essays of 2009; I like that stuff. Also working my way through the novels of Patrick O'Brian, which I find soothing. Also a new book by Amanda Hesser of food essays she edited when she was at the Times, which I'm reviewing.
