Background
Information
Sheryl Sorrentino (a pseudonym) is a practicing attorney who lives in the California Bay Area with her husband and twelve-year-old daughter. She conceived and wrote Later With Myself: The Misadventures of Millie Moskowitz after her father died and his well-kept family secret shed new light on shocking events from her early life. Though painfully "memoir-esque" in its depiction of childhood atrocities befalling the title character, this captivating work of autobiographical fiction will engross readers from first page to last with its edgy, matter-of-fact, yet comical portrayal of the highly dysfunctional Moskowitz family.
Immediately after launching her first novel, Sheryl again got busy and penned An Unexpected Exile, a very different creation that showcases Sheryl's trademark ability to tell a page-turning story while humorously examining charged social issues near and dear to her heart. An Unexpected Exile is fast-paced women's fiction that explores the psychological inner workings of Risa Weinberg, its 29-year-old protagonist whose Capitalist guilt and sexual bewilderment all but derail her purported personal and professional aspirations—a uniquely female phenomenon with which Sheryl is all too familiar.
Her latest novel, The Floater, tackles touchy subjects of employment discrimination, later-in-life romance, and inter-racial relationships.
Sorrentino's strongest literary influences are Wally Lamb and Joyce Carol Oates.
