I first read "The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake when I was twelve years old; far too young to understand it. I am writing this now as a nearly-eighteen year old whose parents have "split" as a result of an affair. Food has been one of the biggest changes in my life. There is less of it, now.

I first read "The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake when I was twelve years old; far too young to understand it. I am writing this now as a nearly-eighteen year old whose parents have "split" as a result of an affair. Food has been one of the biggest changes in my life. There is less of it, now. Recipes don't taste the same. Tuna casserole is now too dry, spaghetti noodles are now either under or overcooked, and the Shakshuka is now made with less whole-feeling tomatoes. I didn't understand this book six years ago, but I have an intimate understanding of Rose and Joseph now. I hope, someday, to make my own lemon cake, and feel the sadness in it.... Collapse

“In the beginning was the Word “ Just discovered your Light in the Dark essay. Wonderfully instructive for struggling writer. The physical impact of language. The mystery. I’m inspired. Missing creative community in LA ( new NY transplant). Suggestions? 🙏

I just finished reading The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake for the 2nd time. I had my book club read that book and minds were blown! That’s one of my favorite books and everyone else really enjoyed it too!

Hello Aimee, Were you on the Res Life Staff at Revelle in 91-92-ish? (I was the Educational Intern, then an RA for 2 years, and I feel like we might have overlapped??) Super excited to read your work now, regardless! 🙂

Hello! I am Ayesha from Dhaka.I hope you get this. I'm sorry if this is the inappropriate place to write selfishly, but I'm not sure if you want to know the emotional impact you have on others. In a used book store, I discovered "The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake." I enjoy reading novels about magic in daily life. I needed this book to heal something within of me that it did. Without writing a book myself, I don't think I could ever express how I feel about my brother's failed suicide attempts in its entirety. I've never read anything that so perfectly captures how I feel. that I feel the want to go, that I love him, that I comprehend, that I want him to stay, and that I want him to stay.... Collapse

I just read "The Rememberer" with my class of high school creative writing students (I'm the teacher). I have never seen a class so captivated by a story. It has always been one of my favorite stories. I'm so glad I shared it with my students this year.

Every word, letter, number has a color...I thought most of my life, that everyone had color associations like me. Just curious where you got your inspiration for Rose and love how you fashioned a story around here tasting folks. Do you have synesthesia ? I love talking to people about it and I know that a lot of people find it to be terribly difficult. Thanks Lauri PS LOVED the Book !! Looking forward to reading more of yours ..... Collapse

I have been reading your work since the Girl in the Flammable Skirt, and loving it. But nothing prepared me for how much the Butterfly Lampshade moved me. It's an incredible work - deep, nuanced, beautiful, difficult. You have given us all a gift, and I appreciate it so, so much.

I am a slow reader. And yet. The Butterfly Lampshade called and pulled me along at a (relatively) rapid place. I related to the way Francie (I wondered if the name is a nod to A Tree Grows In Brooklyn) remembers most everything that happens and still wants to remember more, deeper. The phrasing was as magical as the story.... Read more

I related to the way Francie (I wondered if the name is a nod to A Tree Grows In Brooklyn) remembers most everything that happens and still wants to remember more, deeper. The phrasing was as magical as the story. As soon as I finished, before I realized what I was doing, I started reading the book again, which made sense and added more appreciation for me. Thank you for taking time from your family life and writing such a meticulous and profoundly beautiful book.... Collapse

Reading Lemon Cake after the recommendation of a poet (don’t recall her name) in The Week. Fascinating writing and character. I can’t help but see the similarity of Rose’s train of thought with her heightened and perhaps distorted sense of reality similar to my brother’s, who was diagnosed schizophrenic when he was 20(over 40 years ago).

I can’t help but see the similarity of Rose’s train of thought with her heightened and perhaps distorted sense of reality similar to my brother’s, who was diagnosed schizophrenic when he was 20(over 40 years ago). Haven’t finished yet, but she just had that chair leg incident with Joseph. That and the troubling tasting power brought me back to those days when I was a teenager leaving with him. I plan to read and enjoy more of your unique works.... Collapse

It felt as if I was watching my family’s life play out in the story you wrote. And as I was reading about Rose’s narrative surrounding her gift I made a choice to start on the healing journey from an eating disorder I’ve had from childhood. Thank you, Aimee, for your book....

Your writing has shown me that not all of the stories have been told. Not everyone's creation simply falls in place into a category. That a unique voice can rise through the loud din of uniform storytelling. Thank you for the hope, the journeys you brought us on with you, and especially for the magic!
