Heather Clark

We have a cover! Coming June 17, The Scrapbook is the story of two young lovers haunted by history and dark family legacies. It’s a different kind of World War II novel. Learn more: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/768065/t…

In which I write about how technology makes people lonely, then sells them a solution to loneliness in the form of technology. nytimes.com/2025/07/07/opi…

Come hear me and Aria Aber at our debut fiction panel this fall at the Brattleboro Literary Festival! Honored to be on this incredible roster. brattleborolitfest.org

Thanks @ShelfAwareness for choosing THE SCRAPBOOK as one of this week’s best books! “Heather Clark’s first novel is a finely wrought, subtle love story burdened by the weight of the past.”

Read W.G. Sebald's Austerlitz with me this fall @Roundtable_92NY !

TLS: ‘Clark suggests that history never arrives as coherent narrative; it lingers instead in buildings and town squares … she offers us a novel of beautiful surfaces and uneasy depths, where love becomes a form of collective memory excavation and forgetting a kind of violence.’

'Germany itself is a key figure in this book: a landscape of beguiling facades and crimes that cannot quite be buried.' Anna Katharina Schaffner (@AKSchaffner) on an inheritance of guilt the-tls.com/literature/fic…

THE SCRAPBOOK in @TheTLS: “an elegant, calmly unsettling debut novel… illustrates how the cold shadow of German history bleeds constantly into the present, even in the most intimate spheres.” the-tls.com/literature/fic…

I’m in England for less than 48 hours but I had to come up to Yorkshire to pay my respects. ❤️

It was a pleasure and a challenge to work on this documentary with @jeffbieber over the past five years, as we watched the rise of right wing authoritarianism abroad and at home. It could not be more timely, and I'm honored to have been a part of it with so many brilliant voices.
