Search - List of Books by Terri Jentz

Terri Jentz (born 1957) is an American writer. She wrote Strange Piece of Paradise, about the attack she and a college friend from Yale University suffered in Cline Falls (a state park in Oregon) in 1977, while on a bicycle and camping trip; and how she, after 15 years, returned to Oregon to investigate the attack and come to terms with the experience. The New York Times in its Sunday book review wrote, "Imagine that it had been Truman Capote himself who'd been savaged in Holcomb, Kan., and that he had survived to describe his ordeal. That is the level of command and sinew at work in the writing."

Strange Piece of Paradise was chosen by the New York Times as a Notable Book of the Year.

Jentz's partner is film director Donna Deitch.
