KALEIDOSCOPE from @daniwriter arrives this May and early readers are already raving.
Shapiro delivers her most ambitious work yet: an intricately woven, luminous memoir about a sudden upheaval.
“Life is literature. Life is love. Life is connection. Life is always on life’s terms. Dani Shapiro’s Kaleidoscope, like all her work, makes our inevitable trips down those same roads so much more bearable, beautiful, and safe. Life is better with Dani Shapiro's insight and vision.” -- @jamieleecurtis

"When you’re at a dinner party and someone asks you a question, something which if you answer honestly, might be hard. It’s nice to be able to invoke that type of familiar language.
Like, I’m just going to say this, and I’m not going to feel anything.
That’s a fine mechanism at a cocktail party, but it’s not so great for literature.
You’re skating quickly across the cracks in the ice. When you’re writing, you want to stay in the cracks.”
My most recent interview with NYT bestselling author @daniwriter where we discuss family, writing "what you know now," and more.

We’re so excited to share the gorgeous cover of Dani Shapiro’s newest book, KALEIDOSCOPE (out May 4, 2027).
This is @daniwriter’s most ambitious work yet: an intricately woven, luminous memoir about a sudden upheaval in late middle age. It was Christmastime in the West Village when the world shifted before her eyes. Dani had been diagnosed with a rare, life-threatening illness and learned that the cure would likely cost her sight. The prospect would frighten anyone, but for a writer—an artist whose whole vocation is attention—it threatened the very source of her work.
“Gripping and luminous… This is memoir at its very best.”—@BelleBurden

Summer so far: Public, private, city, country, teaching, writing, reading, family, friends, generations, tradition. Feeling the beauty of this moment, and immense gratitude for it.

This is a story of what sometimes happens when we follow that quiet sense of knowing that tells us to take one step, then another, and another. Last spring, I was fortunate to see the @traceyeminstudio exhibit at @tate in London. I was haunted and moved by the show, and once back at our friends’ home, I leafed through the Tate Etc magazine, and began to read an essay on Emin by one @emilylabarge. I was transfixed by the piece. Who was this young writer with such a beautiful mind? I looked her up. It turned out that she’d just published her first book, a memoir titled Dog Days. I bought the book that very day and began reading it on the flight home. Dog Days is one of most inventive, searching, gorgeously written books I’ve read in ages. It was only when I turned the last page that I realized it would make for a powerful episode of Family Secrets. Friends, I hope you’ll read Dog Days and listen to the episode, which drops today. And follow those trails of breadcrumbs, even when — especially when — you don’t know where they’ll lead. 🤍
