Award-winning screenwriter, playwright, and novelist Erik Tarloff is the author of the national best-seller Face-Time, All Our Yesterdays, and The Man Who Wrote the Book, named  one of the memorable books of the year by The New York Times. His last book, The Woman In Black, was a Los Angeles Times bestseller.

He has contributed reviews and articles to Earth, The New York Times, The Washington Post,  The San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, Working Woman, Washingtonian Magazine, San Francisco Magazine, Vogue, Salon, The American Prospect, and The Financial Times. His new novel, Tell Me the Truth About Love, will be released in October 2022.

“Tell Me the Truth About Love is a literary beach read. It combines vivid characters, plot twists and plenty of sex – with the elegant dialogue, psychological insight and sophisticated comedy we’ve come to expect from Erik Tarloff.”

    — George Stephanopoulos, ABC News

“All the complications of love are here, neatly plotted against a background of arts’ intrigue.  The characterization is clever yet rich in sympathy, even for those who stand in love’s way. This is among the best of Tarloff’s novels – funny, smart, and full of unexpected twists.”

       — Zachary Leader, author of The Life of Saul Bellow
