Rebekah Bergman writes: “I was a writing fellow and editor for The Indy. I married a fellow 2011 alum and after living in Brooklyn for seven years, we decided to return to Rhode Island to raise our family. I am very happy to have landed back in Providence and to get to know the city, this time as a parent and a novelist. In August Tin House published my debut novel, The Museum of Human History, a futuristic fairy tale that examines the burden of memory. It centers on a young girl who slips into a strange comatose state and stops physically aging and the host of characters who find themselves pulled to her. The very first seed for the book was a short story I wrote as part of my undergraduate thesis at Brown. I’m looking forward to celebrating the launch at a local independent bookstore before I head out on a book tour through the Northeast and West Coast. The book has received early praise from authors Kate Bernheimer, Tiffany Tsao, Allegra Hyde, and Samantha Hunt.”
