About The Book

From Kate Walbert, National Book Award Finalist and New York Times bestselling author of A Short History of Women, comes an inventive and unabashedly literary novel set on a college campus and in the New York Theatre World, with a seductive cast of friends, lovers, and betrayers.

Tuesday Howard is a playwright and theater director whose work and life are shaped by a devastating betrayal in her college years and by Harold Pinter’s iconic play Betrayal. College friendships, their intensity and tenacity, are at the heart of the novel. Tuesday falls in with a theater crowd in the first days of her freshman year, and this cast of friends, collaborators, lovers, and enemies, comes and goes, interrupting the narrative, illuminating each present, through the decades that follow.

Dazzling at the sentence level, structurally complex, and exhilaratingly insightful, Enter Bear is about time, memory, and how writers make art out of life.
