Koren

About me:

My new memoir "Fury" comes out on September 7th, 2010 and is available to pre-order here: http://www.amazon.com/Fury-Memoir-Koren-Zailckas/dp/0670022306/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266086286&sr=1-1.

Also in September, I'll be doing an 8-city book tour. Keep you posted with news and dates as I get them!

Below is a description of the new book from my publisher:

"In the years following the publication of her landmark memoir SMASHED, Koren Zailckas stays sober and relegates binge drinking to her past. But a psychological legacy of repression lingers--her sobriety is a loose surface layer atop a hard-packed, unacknowledged rage that wreaks havoc on Koren emotionally and professionally. When a cherished but faltering romance leads her back to her childhood home, she sinks into emotional crisis--writers block, depression, anxiety. Only once she begins to apply her research on a book about anger to the turmoil of her own life does she learn what denial has cost her. The result is a blisteringly honest chronicle of the consequences of anger displaced, and the balm of anger discovered.

Readers who recognized themselves or someone they love in the pages of SMASHED will identify with Koren's life-altering exploration of the necessity of exposing anger's origins in order to flourish in love and life as an adult. Combining sophisticated sociological research with a dramatic and deeply personal story that grapples boldly with identity and family, FURY is a dazzling work certain to touch a cultural nerve by a young writer at the height of her powers."
