Born in South Africa, Emma Rathbone was a Henry Hoyns Fellow at the University of Virginia, where she received her M.F.A. The Patterns of Paper Monsters is her debut novel.

Convicted of armed robbery, 17-year-old Jacob is sentenced to a Virginia detention center. Bored, Jacob begins romancing an inmate he bumps into once in a while. But when Jacob is asked to help bring the center down, he must choose between his new relationship and the chance for escape.

Enjoyed the performance! The book is a tragi-comedy with a focus on how mundane interactions create the culmination of an entire life and the main character’s awareness of this leaves them alienated from reality. Lots of laughs matched with plenty of relatable moments. Fun and quick listen. Recommend!
