BED/TIME/STORY
“I stayed up all night reading it, and its ultimate mood of sweet, almost painful happiness stayed with me for days. It is about two people whose love for each other slowly conquered their hatred for themselves; quite literally it is about the lifesaving and healing power of love. “Bed/Time/Story” has all the captivating power of a classic . . . one to read and reread.” (Annie Gottlieb, New York Times Book Review)
PERDIDO
“As readers of her harrowing Bed/Time/Story are well aware, Jill Robinson knows how to tell us terrible things in a funny tone of voice. A remarkable, heartbreaking novel . . . just as impressive as the writing in Perdido is the artfulness over the long haul of a novel. . . . How to convey brilliance? I don’t know, but Jill Robinson does.” (John Leonard, New York Times)
STAR COUNTRY
“Jill Robinson has a knack for the beautifully constructed sentence. She propelled me through the world of power and privilege, Hollywood style, with the total assurance of one who has been there herself.” (Dominick Dunne)
“Nobody knows Hollywood like Jill Robinson . . . Robinson is the Whitman of Sunset Boulevard.” (John Lahr)
DR. ROCKSINGER AND THE AGE OF LONGING
“She writes with the same grace and assurance that her characters live by . . . we find out what’s true and tender about the tenuous moments that make up our lives . . . Here is a novel about people struggling with contemporary life that’s sad, serious and convincing, but that also holds out a lot of hope . . . Somebody’s in control here – an adult, writing about adult behavior.” (Ann Beattie)
“This is a trenchant, funny, important book for anyone who cares about the sexual revolution and the baffling changes it has created in all our lives.” (Erica Jong)
“Robinson writes with warmth and wit about the complexities and difficulties of love . . . her instinct for love wins out. There’s a lot to be learned here about loving, letting go and loving again.” (Vogue)
FALLING IN LOVE WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE THROUGH
"This is the love story for the twenty-first century." (Cathy Cash Spellman)
PAST FORGETTING
“Fierce, funny, passionate…. The strength of Past Forgetting lies in its unflinching exploration of memory itself, what it means to us as individuals and families. A rare, almost heroically well-written, at times hair-raising account of what the experience is really like from the inside … [An] unflinching exploration of memory itself.” (New York Times Book Review)
“Jill Robinson’s new book is totally engrossing. I would expect no less from her, but – amazingly – the subject of the book is the loss of memory, and her honesty, her humor, and her brilliant gift for individual sentences stopped this reader’s world, as well.” (Ann Beattie)
“One of Hollywood’s genuine princesses has produced an extraordinary work: a memoir about her amnesia. The extraordinary thing is – it works.” (Carolyn See)
“An exquisitely written and perceptive book describing a traumatic interruption in a woman’s life… An absolute pleasure to read.” (Anne Rice)
