Like many young people, Heidi Julavits kept a diary. Decades later, she found her old diaries in a storage bin and hoped to discover the early evidence of the person (and writer) she'd since become. "I want to good-naturedly laugh at this person. I want to but I can't. What she wanted then is scarcely different from what I want today." Thus was born a desire to try again. The dazzling result is The Folded Clock (Doubleday), in which the diary form becomes a meditation on time and self, youth and aging, betrayal and loyalty, faith and fate, marriage and family, desire and death, art and ambition.
