Synopsis
Katzenjammered is a brilliantly compelling illumination of the nature of storytelling. Through the haunting imagery of interwoven narratives, the tale carries the reader through family mythology, tragedy, and beyond. With, in the words of the young protagonist, ?each syllable broken into light and shadow?, the language is a joy to read. ?Donna Wyszomierski Norma Kassirer?s insouciant partnership of teeth and stones in a bowl on a small desk and her glance at the surface of a pond where ?the water breaks into oriental script? are just two of her many perfect gestures. In Katzenjammered, a watchful child perceives and senses and sometimes almost understands the dark waters seeping up under the suburban world of tennis and Sunday dinners surrounding her. Woven through the book are bits of journal entries from her father?s tour of duty at the Front during World War I: a leit motif which events ultimately rise to meet. There is more to come. You won?t want to miss it. ?Ann Goldsmith

Her short story cycle Milly was published in 2008 by the Buffalo Ochre Papers.

Both of her daughters have long been engaged with writing and publishing, the cover images having been drawn by her daughter Karen as a child.
