In praise of THE GRAY NEW DEAL, author Chaitali Sen writes, "In this deeply original novel of communal living, a group of seniors move back into the college co-op where they once came of age. What starts as a nostalgic experiment becomes a moving exploration of grief, love, friendship, memory, and the unfinished work of growing older, reminding us what it means to be alive at any age." Miriam Kuznets has lived in Austin since 1990 and has worked as a psychotherapist since 1995. She has an MFA in fiction writing from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and her fiction and nonfiction have appeared in Narrative, Austin Noir, The Southern Review, The Antioch Review, Ascent, and other publications.
