edit data

New from Liz Moore: The Unseen World. The New York Times calls it "fiercely intelligent," The Boston Globe calls it a "captivating new page-turner," and The Washington Post calls it "a cerebral, page-turning thriller" that is "an elegant and ethereal novel about identity and the dawn of artificial intelligence, and a convincing interior portrait of a young woman."

Liz Moore is the author of the novels THE WORDS OF EVERY SONG (Broadway Books, 2007), HEFT (W.W. Norton, 2012), and THE UNSEEN WORLD (W.W. Norton, 2016). A winner of the 2014 Rome Prize in Literature, she lives in Philadelphia and teaches at Holy Family University.

End-of-year thanks

Just a note to say:

Thank you, wonderful Goodreads community, for your support of The Unseen World and my other books as well. It's been so nice to hear from you and get to know some of you.

I hope you find some time to relax amidst the end-of-year chaos.

As for me: I'm hard at work on my next project, and I can't wait to share it soon.

Best wishes, Happy New Year, goodbye 2017.

I loved this book. It was concise but so emotionally resonant. The characters feel complete, as if they're operating just offscreen in another world that we see glimpses of from time to time. I also loved how gracefully the author jumped around in ti ...more

Quotes by Liz Moore

“...this idea I had of an oversoul of loneliness. A connectedness among the world's lonely that I could turn to when I was very low. There was a delicious romance in being utterly alone, & I told myself I was nobler for it, & that there was a purpose to my solitude, O there must be.”
― Liz Moore, Heft

“We talk for a very long time and I ask her if it gets easier and she says not really, just different. A different duller kind of hurt, the kind that doesn't surprise you anymore.
I ask what her parent were like when it happened and she says they have never been the same.”
― Liz Moore, Heft
