Jami Attenberg's new novel, "The Amnesiac," is slated for release on May 11, 2027. The book delves into the life of Nicole Abernathy, a writer whose career faces a significant setback due to a critical review. Seeking solace and a new beginning, Nicole and her husband decide to move permanently to New Orleans.
Their new life in the vibrant city of New Orleans, however, introduces new challenges. Nicole's husband harbors secrets, prompting her to re-evaluate their relationship, her artistic pursuits, and her path forward. The narrative promises a blend of sensuality, deep emotion, and the distinctive charm of New Orleans.
Attenberg, a resident of New Orleans for a decade, drew inspiration from her personal connection to the city. She aimed to capture its decadence, beauty, and strong community spirit. The author also explored the narrator's journey of self-acceptance and comfort over a 15-year span.
The cover art for "The Amnesiac," designed by Allison Saltzman and featuring photography by Diane Villadsen, aims to reflect the book's vibrant and mysterious essence. Preorders for the novel are currently available.
