Lisa Taddeo, Ghost Lover
Esquire dubbed Lisa Taddeo “our most eloquent and faithful chronicler of human desire” — with good reason. Her #1 New York Times bestselling Three Women provided a tantalizingly candid nonfictional exploration of the risks women take to fulfill their sexual desires. And in her debut novel, Animal, she turned her sharp eye, and even sharper wit, onto the emotional carnage of such unrelenting longings and their unhealed scars.
In her electrifying new collection of short stories, Ghost Lover, Taddeo expands her motifs, taking readers from the anonymous screens of a dating service to a star-studded political fundraiser and the tense waiting room where two hard-partying friends collide with the grim realities of love’s blindness, the mania of grief and the power of obsession.
Lisa Taddeo has written for major magazines and is adding screenwriting and producing to her credits with a series adaptation of Three Women for Showtime.
