Green Girl, an existential novel about shopping and make-up, out now. About the novel Kate Durbin writes: "Zambreno's Ruth is literature's lost girl, the ambivalent offspring of Lispector's Macabea, Rhys' Sasha Jensen, and Plath's Esther Greenwood...what Zambreno does ingeniously, ruthlessly, is implicate Ruth's impenetrable vacancy as our own." James Greer at Bookforum writes, "Green Girl is ambitious in a way few works of fiction are." Order at IndieBound or Amazon.

My novel O Fallen Angel, a triptych of modern-day America, won Chiasmus Press' "Undoing the Novel—First Book Contest." It was named a Book of the Year in 2010 by Montevidayo and Bookslut. In a review of the novel, Michael Schaub at Bookslut wrote: "I've spent months thinking about it nearly every day, and I've largely given up on trying to explain it. It's how you feel at your worst moments; it's less a book than a Molotov cocktail of a story. It will make you think of Acker, sure, but it's a different angel with a different harp. It's something only Kate Zambreno could have done, and it's brave and scared and indispensable." Available at SPD and Amazon.
