M.E. Roufa has ridden an ostrich, appeared on Jeopardy, and can crochet a mean banana. In her spare time, she works as an award winning advertising writer and creative director whose work has appeared everywhere from the Super Bowl to the sides of shampoo bottles. THE NORMA GENE is her first novel.
"A gorgeous, funny romp along the seam between reality and
artifice, fame and obscurity, history and Disney, Roufa has a deft,
hilarious touch. This is a wry, gleeful take on the choice between
destiny, authenticity, love, and the eternal call of the stovepipe
hat." - Dahlia Lithwick, Senior Editor, Slate
"Roufa's characters are both endearing and funny, and she plumbs
the premise they're based on for delightfully zany details" -
Kirkus Reviews "A perfect gem with terrifically simple and funny
twists." Josh Kilmer-Purcell, New York Times bestselling author of
I Am Not Myself These Days and The Bucolic Plague
"An intriguing premise and cerebral writing make The Norma Gene a
rollicking good read." Kathy Hepinstall, author of Blue Asylum and
Sisters of Shiloh
