Katharine Weber describes True Confections in 29 Seconds!
The critics love TRUE CONFECTIONS!
"Wickedly funny... sly, engrossing... Alice is a remarkable creation, a witty, engaging and thoroughly unreliable narrator... The narrative delves lovingly into the history of a venerable immigrant industry, and brings to mind the elegiac mid-career novels of Philip Roth...a true confection indeed." - NPR
"A great American tale." - New York Times Book Review
"Marvelous, a vividly imagined story about love, obsession and betrayal" -Boston Globe
"Katharine Weber is one of the wittiest, most stimulating novelists at work today...wonderful fun and endlessly provocative." - Chicago Tribune
"Succulently inventive" - Washington Post "
"Her most delectable novel yet" - L.A. Times

STAIRCASE WRITING, my web journal about what the French call l'esprit d'escalier," stairway wit. The witty thing you should have said that occurs to you only as you descend the stairs at the end of the evening. As a novelist, I find that I have staircase thoughts about each of my novels, even though it has been almost fifteen years since my first novel was published.
True Confections, a novel about a chocolate candy company in crisis, has just been published by Shaye Areheart Books.
