"Adrienne Wolfert has written a stunning novel about a young woman from a difficult background who becomes a successful Broadway actress... Laila (known as 'Lolly') is single-minded in pursuit of her art and inspired by a stormy but tender relationship with her cousin Robert Kyle, a famous playwright. Wolfert explains - as few writers have - what it feels like to be an actor who is consumed by her art."Mary K. Webb, author, The God Hustlers

Adrienne Wolfert has won many awards during her lifetime for both poetry and fiction. She has been recorded in the Library of Congress by William Meredith. Wolfert has been called a "writer of stature and eloquence" by Louis Untermeyer. William Matthews called her work "energetic and striking"; David McCullough said, "...You're a terrific writer...make no mistake." Adrienne represented the United States in an exchange program with the Soviet Union. She was a short story editor for "The Country and Abroad." She has a degree from Barnard College and an MFA from Vermont College. She thanks the Virginia Center for The Creative Arts and Yaddo for providing time to write while she was raising her children.
'Lively and exciting and told in an attractively filtering first person, Adrienne Wolfert's novel Forgive Me for Being Mad, presents continuously interesting insights into an actress' life. The well researched period is the contentious fifties and sixties---great for page turning."Diana O'Heir, I Wish This War Were Over, Pulitzer Prize runner-up

"Adrienne Wolfert's latest novel is a fast-paced, first person narrative recounting the life of Laila 'Lolly' Lambert. Lolly chronicles her obsession with acting...the lovers, abortions, family betrayals...both of her and by her... the tumultuous effect on her life and the lives of those around her. But through it all, Lolly is forever on the outside of her own life, watching and taking notes for her next performance."Patricia Mills, critic
