Adventure stories where the hero saves the day are all well and good. But isn’t it even more interesting to get down in the dirt where everyone’s human and no one’s perfect? No one writes this kind of story better than the master herself, Curtis Sittenfeld.

I want messy stories that look at the truth of what it means to be a human in this world, even when that truth feels dark and prickly. If you, too, love tales where there aren’t any heroes or villains (because everyone’s a bit of both), then stay right here because we have some Curtis Sittenfeld to talk about.—Rachel, Audible editor

    • Prep is the novel that made Curtis Sittenfeld a star, and it’s a superb place to start. It has so many delicious ingredients: Boarding school! Teen angst! Relationship drama! Shy Midwesterner Lee Fiora has always fantasized about going to a fancy New England prep school. But when she actually gets in, she finds herself shut out from the mysterious social circles of the elite.

      It’s a classic coming-of-age story with an exquisitely flawed character who can be spiteful, anxious, and insecure. In other words, she’s exactly like a real teenager, and she’ll make you remember—for better or worse—exactly what high school felt like. How you respond to Lee will tell you a lot about yourself. If, like me, you absolutely love her, you’re going to want to devour everything else Curtis Sittenfeld has ever written.

    • These short stories are perfect little jewels of Curtis Sittenfeld-isms. If you enjoyed Prep, you’re going to love You Think It, I’ll Say It. It can be hard to capture what’s so great about a short story collection, because there’s no overarching plot with which to tempt you. But I can tell you that each of these stories shows a sliver of the meanness that everyone—even the absolute nicest person—secretly has inside.

      From a woman who knows some tabloid-worthy gossip about a wholesome TV cooking show star, to a family man who strikes up a flirtatious game with someone else’s wife, she reveals the secrets we don’t want anyone else to know—and Emily Rankin and Mark Deakins are the perfect narrators to whisper those secrets in your ears. (Well, they don't actually whisper, but you know what I mean.)

  • Atomic Marriage Audiolibro Por Curtis Sittenfeld arte de portada

    • Atomic Marriage

    • De: Curtis Sittenfeld
    • Narrado por: Diane Lane
    • Duración: 58 m
    • Fecha de lanzamiento: 01-03-19
    • Idioma: Inglés
    • 3.5 out of 5 stars 13,696 calificaciones
    • Atomic Marriage is the perfect stop after Prep and You Think It, I’ll Say It, as it’s smack dab between the two—not quite a novel, not quite a short story (I know, I know…they call that a “novella”). In this story, she puts two unlikely characters in a room together—Heather Thiesen, movie executive, and Brock Lewis, religious self help author—and shows that they have much more in common than one might think. He’s the brains behind a mindbogglingly successful marriage manual called The Atomic Doctrine, and her studio is turning his book into a romantic comedy. After an unexpected moment passes between them, Heather surprises herself by what she wants and what she’s willing to do to get it.

      Audible was honored to have Curtis Sittenfeld create this audio-only story just for us, and Diane Lane's performance digs deep into the strange truth of this intriguing tale.

    • Curtis Sittenfeld does Pride and Prejudice in this match made in bookish heaven. Her retelling honors Jane Austen's beloved classic while including hilarious modern updates. Think: CrossFit classes, paleo diets, and a reality TV dating show called Eligible. Whether you pick this up because you love Curtis Sittenfeld or Jane Austen (or both), you’ll be enchanted by the ingredients they share—the opposites who have more in common than they think; the sharp tongues and snap judgements that soften over time; and the bickering sisters who secretly love each other very much. And I love Cassandra Campbell's performance of this one—it's so perfect for this classic pairing.

  • American Wife Audiolibro Por Curtis Sittenfeld arte de portada

    • American Wife

    • A Novel
    • De: Curtis Sittenfeld
    • Narrado por: Kimberly Farr
    • Duración: 23 h y 23 m

    • Idioma: Inglés
    • 4 out of 5 stars 682 calificaciones
    • Stay with me, because things are about to get a little weird. But "weird" for Curtis Sittenfeld also happens to be wonderful. American Wife is inspired by the unlikely real-life romance of a former POTUS and first lady from Texas. Just as in real life, teenage "Alice" accidentally kills a fellow classmate in a freak traffic accident, and afterward finds her sense of purpose as a school librarian. Eventually, a devilishly charming suitor with ties to the Republican party sweeps her off her feet (never mind that she’s a Democrat).

      Did Curtis Sittenfeld have a crystal ball when she wrote this? Could she see into a future where questions like "Can a Republican and a Democrat fall in love?" would feel more urgent than ever?? Crystal ball or not, the "opposites attract" motif is is peak Sittenfeld.

  • Sisterland Audiolibro Por Curtis Sittenfeld arte de portada

    • Sisterland

    • A Novel
    • De: Curtis Sittenfeld
    • Narrado por: Rebecca Lowman
    • Duración: 14 h y 59 m
    • Fecha de lanzamiento: 06-25-13
    • Idioma: Inglés
    • 4 out of 5 stars 625 calificaciones
    • If you enjoyed the wonderfully weird tang of American Wife, you’re going to love Sisterland because it gets even weirder: a set of psychic twins in St. Louis, Missouri, are at the center of a prediction about a devastating earthquake. As kids, both Kate and Violet experimented with their psychic powers…Ouija boards and all. Kate, however, has chosen to hide her gifts as an adult. But as the date of the predicted disaster approaches, she must make amends with her estranged sister and confront the truths she’s hidden for so long.

      Rebecca Lowman's portrayal of the psychic sisters is beautifully understated and restrained, capturing the essence of those moments that can feel both small and enormous all at once.

  • The Man of My Dreams Audiolibro Por Curtis Sittenfeld arte de portada

    • The Man of My Dreams

    • A Novel
    • De: Curtis Sittenfeld
    • Narrado por: Susan Denaker
    • Duración: 9 h y 36 m
    • Fecha de lanzamiento: 05-10-06
    • Idioma: Inglés
    • 3.5 out of 5 stars 79 calificaciones
    • The Man of My Dreams brings it full circle. In her follow up to Prep, Curtis Sittenfeld considers what happens when teenagers face the realities of growing up. Hannah’s family life is precariously unstable—her father goes into periodic rages, and her mother covers by making up fake diseases—which might be why, at 14 years old, she’s obsessed with Julia Roberts’s celebrity wedding to Kiefer Sutherland. But as she gets older (hello, love triangles and broken hearts), Hannah starts to figure out who she is and what she wants. Going after it, though, is harder than ever.

      This is the perfect story to savor at the end of your Sittenfeld journey. It feels like Prep’s big sister—a bit less prone to dramatic rages, and with the perspective of someone slightly older and wiser. And it will remind you why you fell in love with Curtis Sittenfeld all over again.
