RaveThe Rumpust is certainly no surprise Prentiss has been collecting vigorous praise in the month since her novel was released. Tuesday Nights in 1980 exhibits a unique and sensitive command of language. It celebrates her ability to use unexpected images to invent new meaning inside familiar feelings. Prentiss does this while braiding together a plot-driven narrative about subjects we’ve seen a dozen times and will gladly see a dozen more if she’s the one doing the telling. This is a debut novel will that will poke at an ache inside you, and keeping you turning the page for more.

RaveThe RumpusThe novel is a multi-layered exploration of sexuality and female desire. It’s a disarming and sharply-rendered portrait of a woman attempting to wrangle some sense of meaning from a world filled with lust and rage.
