Now retired as Professor, Emerita, Lesley University, Cambridge, MA, she remains ultra active reaching out and living her passion for writing. Below is her newly released book: "Never Be Normal". Read below and follow the live links as Judy shares her fascinating storied career that began in those wonderful English classes at 17100 Wyoming - Our Mumford.
Judy Says:
I am the featured writer this month on this website: https://alphabetbox.com/judith-cohen-interview/. An essay I wrote about the writers Grace Paley and John Cheever is the piece featured. https://alphabetbox.com
Judith Beth Cohen’s story collection Never Be Normal is available from Atmosphere Press, September 2021. $17.99 (ISBN 978-63988-997-6.), Bookshop. Org (the independent site), or Amazon. She depicts sixties rebels, political activists, struggling couples, and singles looking for love with humor and empathy. Readers meet a Jewish bus driver in Texas, a Yoga Guru, A Palestinian peace activist, and an obese child with a terminal disease. There’s a therapist who brings a live python to his disturbed charges and a single woman who joins a scheme for borrowing married men. A feuding couple fight a forest fire on an Indian reservation. Devastated by a fatal hunting accident, another woman resists police efforts to help her, and a radical South African priest hides in Ireland. These rebels and self-identified outsiders confront their demons.
Most of the stories have appeared in literary magazines and journals but this volume makes them available to a larger audience. (There’s even one about an aborted high school reunion).Cohen’s novel Seasons (The Permanent Press, Sag Harbor, NY), and Jahreszeiten (Vermont Diary), Rowohlt, Frankfurt, Germany, is available as an eBook. She has taught at Harvard and Lesley Universities. Reviewers have said: “Almost every story features a woman who observes life with a beguiling mix of intelligence, skepticism, hope and humor. Perfect for these pandemic times.”
