Sonia Taitz

Sonia Taitz is a playwright, essayist, and author of THE WATCHMAKER’S DAUGHTER, a memoir described by PEOPLE magazine as “funny and heartwrenching.”

The book has been recommended by VANITY FAIR, KIRKUS, The American Library Association (which nominated it for the Sophie Brody Medal), and READER’S DIGEST, which put it on its “Can’t-Miss” List. Author/critic James Wolcott described the book as having “the beauty of a psalm,” adding that it should be immortalized on film by Steven Spielberg; CNN’s Mark Whitaker said that “Sonia Taitz writes with an artist’s eye and a poet’s voice,” and Academy Award, Tony, and Pulitzer Prize-winner John Patrick Shanley (DOUBT, MOONSTRUCK) proclaimed: “Sonia Taitz has a good heart and an unmortgaged soul. Follow where she leads. You want to go there.”

Sonia’s previous work, a novel called IN THE KING’S ARMS, was praised and recommended by, among others, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW and ForeWord Magazine, which placed her “among the best poets, playwrights, and novelists.” NEW YORKER writer and critic Jesse Kornbluth compared Sonia Taitz to Martin Amis, Evelyn Waugh, and Philip Roth (but with more heart), and JEWISH BOOK WORLD (the JBC Magazine) featured IN THE KING’S ARMS alongside Alice Hoffman’s novel THE DOVEKEEPERS as an absolute must-read.

Sonia Taitz is also author of MOTHERING HEIGHTS, featured in PEOPLE Magazine and covered repeatedly on NPR, CNN, CBS, as well as in a PBS special on “The Mystery of Love.” O: THE OPRAH MAGAZINE quoted MOTHERING HEIGHTS as being “one of the best things ever said about motherhood,” and many of its key phrases have been anthologized, for instance by THE COLUMBIA BOOK OF QUOTATIONS.

In addition, Sonia Taitz has written extensively for THE NEW YORK TIMES and THE NEW YORK OBSERVER; she is now a featured columnist at THE HUFFINGTON POST and PSYCHOLOGY TODAY.
