Lidoeditrix

I have two bookcases full of American literature, primarily fiction, which was my area of study in grad school. One bookcase for 18th-, 19th-, and 20th-century British literature, a secondary interest. One for contemporary fiction, poetry, and children's literature. I also have a pretty extensive collection of critical and theoretical works from graduate school - from Adorno to Zizek. My husband brought film criticism, drama, graphic novels, biography, and classical literature into the mix. Together we cover a lot of ground.

I'm Amy Gentry, a freelance writer and performer with a PhD in English literature from the University of Chicago. I live in Austin, Texas and write a book blog called The Oeditrix, where I interview authors and write about literature and culture. My reviews have appeared in the Chicago Tribune, Bright Lights Film Journal, the LA Review of Books, and the Austin Chronicle, to which I am a frequent contributor.
