Author Alyssa Sheinmel’s “Reading, Writing and Running” Playlist

We asked author Alyssa Sheinmel to create a playlist inspired by her new book Faceless. She created three, which makes us love her three times more.

Book Review: “Faceless” by Alyssa Sheinmel

“Faceless” by Alyssa Sheinmel chronicles sixteen-year-old Maisie’s journey to recovery after part of her face is destroyed in an electrical fire. Maisie’s burns are so bad that the tissue in her cheeks, nose, and chin actually died. Luckily (although Maisie won’t like it if you call her that – lucky girls don’t get their faces burned off), Maisie qualifies for a face transplant. But recovery after the surgery is so much harder than Maisie predicted; not only does she have to deal with the physical healing of her body, she also has to take about twenty pills three times a day and go back to school, where everyone remembers how she used to be before her accident. She can’t help but ask herself…is it all worth it?

Faceless  by Alyssa Sheinmel

When Maisie gets into a terrible accident, her face is partially destroyed. She’s lucky enough to get a face transplant–but how do you live your life when you can’t even recognize yourself anymore? She was a runner, a girlfriend, a good student…a normal girl. Now all that has changed. As Maisie discovers how much her looks did–and didn’t–shape her relationship to the world, she has to redefine her own identity, and figure out what “lucky” really means.

Where I grew up, one of the meanest things a girl could say about another girl was “she’s sweet.” It meant she had nothing else to recommend her. And I am not asking for “strong” female characters, whatever the hell that means. I am talking about screaming black-magic dragon vixens and prurient nightmare humans. I want conniving, felonious inveiglers and monstrous viragos, and I want them written by women and read by women. Give me Mrs. Danvers and Rebecca both, and give me Cora Papadakis or Lady Macbeth but from their points of view. Give us your witches! Let us adore them.
