Margo Rabb

Short bio: I love books, chocolate, cats (especially of the Edward Gorey variety), old movies, and more chocolate. Long bio: I'm the author of the novels Kissing in America and Cures for Heartbreak, and I've written essays, articles, book reviews, and short stories for The New York Times, The New York Times Book Review, The Atlantic, Slate, The Rumpus, Zoetrope: All-Story, Seventeen, Best New American Voices, New Stories from the South, and One Story, and elsewhere. I grew up in Queens, NY, and recently moved from Austin, TX to Philadelphia, PA. I write about grief a lot (my mom died when I was in my teens and my dad died when I was in my twenties). Here's a link to an essay I wrote recently, about the death of my cat and the death of my mom (it was published, coincidentally, on the 24th anniversary of my mom's death): http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/...Thank you for taking a look at the stuff I've written--sending you some virtual chocolate as you read! :)website: www.margorabb.comTwitter: @margorabb
