Sylvia Brownrigg

Sylvia Brownrigg is the author of several acclaimed works of fiction: four novels—Morality Tale, The Delivery Room, Pages for You, and The Metaphysical Touch—and a collection of stories, Ten Women Who Shook the World. Morality Tale was described in the New York Times as "divinely deadpan", and in the San Francisco Chronicle as a "witty parable of marriage." In 2012, Penguin published Sylvia's novel for children, Kepler's Dream, under the name Juliet Bell. Sylvia's works have been included in the New York Times and Los Angeles Times lists of notable fictions and have been translated into several languages, and she has also won a Lambda award for fiction. In addition to writing fiction, Sylvia Brownrigg has been widely published as a reviewer and critic for publications such as the New York Times and the Times Literary Supplement. Sylvia grew up in California and in England, was educated at Yale and Johns Hopkins Universities, and lived for many years in London. She now lives in Berkeley with her family.
