What May Have Been is a novel in letters exchanged between the
artist Jackson Pollock and his fictional lover, a young woman
called Dori G. Susan Tepper and Gary Percesepe have created a sexy
and luminous love story that takes place sometime during the late
1940's, in that sandy wonderland at the eastern tip of Long Island
known as The Hamptons. Advance Praise for What May Have Been "In
this extraordinary novel, Pollock tells his lover that things like
paint and wives are very small in the scheme of things. Gary
Percesepe and Susan Tepper show how the great scheme of things is,
in fact, in literary art, captured in paint and wives and a Montauk
surf and a silky scarf and narrow hips and a cold water flat and a
used Ford. Brilliantly conceived, brilliantly executed, this is a
stunning book about art and about life." -Robert Olen Butler,
Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange
Mountain "The fictional letters between Pollock and an imaginary
Dori G come out in a hailstorm of paint flecks, lockets, long
looks, kisses, blowing sand. Dori sees Jackson in his distance and
his nearing, and his return to her like the visit of one of the
Greek gods to his mortal lover, as piercing and as fatal." -Mary
Grimm, author of Left to Themselves and Stealing Time "How to
convey the irresistible pleasures of this novel in letters? The
language mimics the slashing, dramatic immediate heroic gestures of
abstract expressionism, is an extraordinary act of poetic
invention, and tells a sexy and doomed love story." -James Robison,
author of The Illustrator and Rumors "These two fervent voices
exude the splendor and gloom of adulterous love." -Mark Wisniewski,
author of Confessions of a Polish Used Car Salesman
In her debut story collection DEER, Susan Tepper takes us into the
forest of her imagination, shining a light on a pack of off-kilter
characters caught in unusual and compelling circumstances. Tepper
is one of the most original voices in fiction I've heard in quite a
while. While reading her loopy-beautiful dark narratives, I was
reminded of the first time I read Denis Johnson. Yes, she 's that
good. This is a writer to watch! - Jamie Cat Callan, The Writer's
Toolbox & French Women Don't Sleep Alone
