Advance Praise
“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
“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”
“Roufa’s characters are both endearing and funny, and she plumbs the premise they’re based on for delightfully zany details.” – Kirkus Reviews
