Midwest Literary Walk Author
Saturday, April 25
12pm | Chelsea Depot

Rebecca Scherm's 2015 debut novel, Unbecoming, was described by the New York Times as "startlingly inventive." Unbecoming is a novel of psychological suspense about a daring art heist, a cat-and-mouse waiting game, and a small-town girl's mesmerizing transformation. Scherm holds an MFA from the Helen Zell Writers Program at the University of Michigan, where she currently teaches. Her work has appeared in Subtropics, The Hairpin, Hobart, and Fiction Writers Review.
