Liza Klaussmann

Liza worked as a journalist for The New York Times from 2001-2011. Her first novel, Tigers in Red Weather, sold in a two book deal to Picador in an eight publisher auction, and was pre-empted by Little, Brown in the US. Published in 2012, Tigers in Red Weather entered the Sunday Times Bestsellers list, won the British National Book Award and the Elle Grand Prix for Fiction, and was described by the Independent as a ‘wonderfully clever, chilling summer read’.

Liza’s second novel, Villa America, was published in 2015 by Picador to stellar reviews. Her latest book, This is Gonna End in Tears, was published by John Murray Press in July 2022. ‘This evocative literary saga, steeped in the sounds, scents and cinematic hits of the early 1980s, has a seductive pull’ – The Sunday Times.
