Roger Rosenblatt Collection

This collection includes Making Toast, Unless It Moves the Human Heart, Beet, Kayak Morning, and The Boy Detective.

Making Toast is a moving account of unexpected loss and recovery in the powerful tradition of About Alice and The Year of Magical Thinking, based on an essay from "The New Yorker" about the tragedy that changed his life and his family.

Unless It Moves the Human Heart is a guidebook for aspiring authors, a memoir, and an impassioned argument for the necessity of writing in our world, in the tradition of Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird.

Beet is a comic novel set on a revered old New England college campus.

Kayak Morning is a poignant meditation on the nature of grief, the passages through it, the solace of solitude, and the healing power of love.

The Boy Detective is a literary and poetic meditation on memory, imagination, and 1950s Manhattan.
