About the Book

From the author of Nine Months, which Marcy Dermansky called "deliciously, dangerously rogue," comes a powerful, daring collection about the curious, complicated relationships girls have with their bodies, with other girls, and with boys. A young anorexic girl comes to terms with her changing body while lying in the hospital; Polly deals with her unwelcome puberty whilst falling prey to peer pressure in the suspenseful vein of "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?"; Mary's nice-girl attitude is challenged when she begins a job at a psych ward; two best friends discover the power of being beautiful and young; Madeleine discovers menstruation and the power that comes with it; a kinky sexual relationship turns into a dangerous obsession. This eagerly awaited book seethes with alienation, lust, and rage. It's even more daring and accomplished than Bomer's first collection, which Jonathan Franzen described as "like being attacked by a rabid dog--and feeling grateful for it. This is some of the rawest and most urgent writing I can remember encountering."

About the Author :
Paula Bomer is the author of the novel Nine Months and the story collection Baby. Her writing has appeared in the Mississippi Review, Open City, Fiction, Nerve, and Best American Erotica. She is the publisher of Sententia Books and a contributor to the literary blog Big Other. She lives in Brooklyn with her family. Jorjeana Marie has narrated over seventy audiobooks, performed in hundreds of commercials, and starred in the pilot Listen to Grandpa, Andy Ling with Elliott Gould. She is a stand-up comic who has opened for Richard Lewis, Louie Anderson, and Kathleen Madigan. Her video game credits include Final Fantasy, Crackdown 2, and Star Guardians. She loves reading so much it gets her into trouble.

Review :
"Blazes with a frank and raw honesty." -- "Publishers Weekly" "Bomer offers her characters no outs--only the creeping sense that they're doomed to swing forever between futile attempts at self-determination." -- "New York Times Book Review" "The stories are often brutal, disappointment being the mildest outcome, with Bomer capturing her characters' anger and helplessness in a graphic and gritty style. For readers who enjoy their short fiction explicit and tough." -- "Library Journal" "The stories in Paula Bomer's Inside Madeleine are many things--funny, horny, sad, smart--but what makes them exemplary is Bomer's utmost fearlessness in confronting both the betrayals of the human body, and the irreparable loneliness of living inside of one...The humanity of Bomer's characters is on hi-def display, allowing readers an intimate glimpse at what goes on in another person's skin, and providing no holds barred illumination on such subjects as the uncontrollability of desire and the futility of discipline in the face of nature's unfairness. This book is not for the faint of heart. Rather, it's for the reader who wants something courageously real: sweaty, bloody, beautiful." -- "Adam Wilson, author of Flatscreen" "With surgical insight, Inside Madeline delves into the most complex female territory imaginable and dissects until every honest bone is revealed. Bomer's prose doesn't flinch, doesn't filter--the bravery of these stories left me breathless." -- "Alissa Nutting, author of Tampa"
