Karen wraps up her East Coast book tour at Left Bank Books in New York City’s West Village.

The picturesque West Village is well known for its narrow, cobblestone streets and brick townhouses.

Karen has a moment to enjoy the view in front of Left Bank Books.

Karen Kondazian reads from The Whip while surrounded by first editions of Ernest Hemingway, Jorge Luis Borges, Pablo Neruda, Joan Didion, Tennessee Williams, Louise Erdrich, Allen Ginsburg and Thomas Wolf.

It was a “Midnight in Paris” moment.

Karen’s appearance on the rustic sign outside the bookstore in the Village. Notice the ducks.

Left Bank Books specializes in literary first editions (especially fiction, poetry, drama, and literary non-fiction), photography, art, music, and film.

NBC’s Jan Wahl takes on The Whip

Hi Whip fans! We’ve got some exciting news!

San Francisco television (KRON/NBC) film critic and historian Jan Wahl has invited Karen Kondazian, author of The Whip, to discuss her book on Ms. Wahl’s television show on June 2^nd. They’ll be chatting about Charley Parkhurst, the inspiration behind The Whip, and about the fascinating process of transforming this great summer read into a big screen adaptation.

Hilary Swank in "Boys Don't Cry"

The film Albert Nobbs recently showed us women of the same timeframe who lived as men in Ireland. Albert is remote and scared even in this courageous choice, but his friend, played brilliantly by Janet McTeer, reminds me a great deal in looks and the gruff-but-kind temperament of our Charley. Charley also has a wit, born of survival skills and intelligence. I would have liked to know Charley, and now I feel I have met her.
