Portland-Based Author Frances Badalamenti Launches Second Novel SALAD DAYS

10/26/2021

 
Picture
PORTLAND, OR; October 26, 2021--Salad Days vacillates between youth-driven cultures of mid-nineties era Jersey and early aughts Portland. As the dual story unfolds, we witness the twenty-something protagonist, Ana, as she takes a crack at being an adult, navigating friendships and searching for intimate relationships, maintaining jobs and managing money. All the while, she does her best to repair a broken moral compass without an owner’s manual.  

"Salad Days is the gritty, moving portrait of a young woman who completely upends her life trying to figure out who she is and what she wants, set against the gray, grungy background of Portland, Oregon, at a time when the city was also in flux. Badalamenti perfectly captures the alluring and maddening impenetrability of Portland for the East Coast transplant."​--Cari Luna, Author of The Revolution of Every Day

- Chloe Caldwell, author of I'll Tell You in Person and Women

"I Don't Blame You is a raw, irreverent, wrenching exploration of the trauma and joy of being a daughter and a mother."
- Michelle Tea, author of Black Wave, How to Grow Up and Modern Tarot
