Beth Adelman's short stories have been published in Bodega, Woven Tale Press, Brilliant Corners, the Jewish Literary Journal, and JewishFiction.net. She is the recipient of two BRIO awards for fiction from the Bronx Council on the Arts. Her essay about the acclaimed poet Naomi Replansky is on the Literary Bronx website. 

Three Lives in New York, Beth’s first novel, takes place on one day in February, 1977, when workers at a Manhattan real estate company endure a tumultuous day that ends with peace for some, and for others, terror. 

“This morning, New York had never seemed so dirty and so surprising in its ugliness and danger...Yet strangers crammed together here for one reason, Gartner thought as he ran with them down the steps to the 86th Street subway station. People would rather live with each other than live alone. When he left his apartment, he, too, could pretend that he wasn’t alone.”
