From the author of the unapologetic Soho debut, Nine Months, comes a daring new short story collection.

"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

From the author of Nine Months and Baby comes a daring new collection that seethes with alienation, lust and rage. Bomer takes us from hospitals, halfway houses, and alleyways, to boarding schools and Park Avenue penthouses, exploring the complex relationships girls have with their bodies, with other girls, and with boys. The title novella tracks the ins and outs of an outsider’s life: her childhood obesity and kinky sex life, her toxic relationships, whether familial or erotic, and her various disappearing acts, of body and mind.

Praise for Inside Madeleine

Praise for Bomer's collection Baby & Other Stories:

"Reading Baby & Other Stories is 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."--Jonathan Franzen, author of The Corrections

Praise for Nine Months:

"Deliciously, dangerously rogue."--Marcy Dermansky, author of Bad Marie

"A raw, darkly funny, at times appalling page-turner.... Mommy lit lovers will be horrified, but Bomer's debut novel will resonate with fans of quirky, character-driven fiction in the vein of Richard Russo, John Updike, and Tiffany Baker."--Library Journal

"After reading this powerful, entertaining novel, and Bomer's excellent collection of stories, I'm convinced. Anything she writes, I want it."--PANK
