Ladette Randolph

Ladette Randolph is the author of two novels: A Sandhills Ballad, selected as a New York Times Editors Choice; and Haven’s Wake, praised by Booklist: “Randolph thoughtfully contemplates truth in a world of evasiveness.” Her debut short story collection, This Is Not the Tropics, was hailed by the reviewer for Publishers Weekly as “utterly remarkable…Quite honestly, this is the finest collection I’ve seen in years.” Randolph’s most recent book is the memoir Leaving the Pink House. A recipient of a Pushcart Prize and the Rona Jaffe Writers’ Award, she is the editor of Ploughshares magazine and teaches at Emerson College.
