Review
"Written in relaxed yet fresh prose, Attenberg's debut is unabashedly emotional, refreshingly devoid of New York City cynicism, and tenderly funny." -- "People" "Told with wit and verve...The Kept Man is a challenge to apathy-it's a novel about remaining constructive in the face of personal change." -- "Interview" "Attenberg knows how to tell a story that's both socially relevant and a fun read." -"Venuszine" "Attenberg gets gallery-land down cold; she also writes of longing and mourning with extraordinary heart...A likable novel marked by a profundity of feeling." -- "Kirkus Reviews"
aAttenberg has an admirable sense of fun...Displays a keen ear for dialogue and a half-cynical, half-affectionate tone that makes even the most venal characters likable.a
