Books by Tyler Wetherall
Tyler Wetherall is a Brooklyn-based author and journalist. Her first book, No Way Home: A Memoir of Life on the Run, followed her childhood as the daughter of an international pot smuggler and federal fugitive. Amphibian is her debut novel.
“I found girlhood, personally, to be quite brutal in the intensity of it. I felt things incredibly deeply, and those feelings were often dismissed as transitory. You know: You’ll grow out of it. They weren’t given the weight that they deserve. Perhaps girls, specifically, are often told that what they feel and, more pertinently, what they experience during those early years somehow don’t count, that you haven’t yet entered ‘real life.’ It is a form of silencing, and the first time we learn not to speak up—to smile. That’s why I wanted to write Amphibian—to dignify the experience of girlhood, and to say: What you feel matters and counts. We take those lessons with us into adulthood.” Read more...
