Wilton Barnhardt (Author)
A big, funny, engaging, unsentimental and sometimes even wise .”–New York Post
Author of
Lookaway, Lookaway
Wilton Barnhardt’s novel of coming of age in New York City brims with energy, surprise, irresistible humor, and the heady rush of youth. Its hero, Gil Freeman, a midwestern aspiring actor, comes to the city in search of stardom–but instead encounters the perils of Alphabet City, the desperation of off-off-off-Broadway the exhilarating, exasperating, absolutely unique Emma, around whom his life comes to turn. Charming and engaging, quintessentially American, Emma Who Saved My Life is one of the extraordinary fiction debuts of our time.
