Gloria Klaiman

Gloria Klaiman’s first book, Night and Day, The Double Lives of Artists in America is a book of essays based on a series of interviews with several American artists in multiple disciplines about how they balanced the creation of art with the need to earn a living. It was published in 2001. Since that time, Gloria has focused her energies on fiction writing, most recently on the novel A Burst of Ginger on the Tongue.

A Burst of Ginger on the Tongue

Jacob’s death had left her disoriented about time and place, as if she were inhabiting two worlds at once, like a child standing on a schoolyard map of the world, one foot in China and the other in Africa. But normal chronologies no longer interested her anyway. She once had the notion that her life would move forward on a continuum toward a fixed point in the future.
