Novels & Story Collections
“Bomer’s novel is incisive in cataloging the consequences of war, and of the restrictive political systems that lead to, or follow from, it. For Eva, condemning the Nazis was easy; acknowledging the shortcomings of communism is less so . . . Tante Eva is a sensitive, startling novel about post-Soviet existence.”
—Foreword Reviews
This is a brave and provocative book about the insidious power of PC. That’s Parental Correctness not Political Correctness...[Bomer’s] wounding analysis of herself and the vicious new mummy tribes she introduces us to make this book an instant classic. ”
- The Guardian
“Reading Baby & Other Stories is like being attacked by a rabid dog—and feeling grateful for it. This is some of the rawest and most urgent writing I can remember encountering.”
—Jonathan Franzen, author of The Corrections
“Bomer offers her characters no outs—only the creeping sense that they're doomed to swing forever between futile attempts at self-determination.”
—The New York Times Book Review

MYSTERY AND MORTALITY: ESSAYS ON THE SAD, SHORT GIFT OF LIFE
"It’s to Bomer’s credit that none of her musings are grim. Neither is her literary criticism scholarly in a way that is dry, impersonal or irrelevant. In fact, it’s the opposite. Her essays offer fresh analysis, as well as original pairings and juxtapositions."
