Selected Works

Fiction
Meat Eaters & Plant Eaters
"Meat Eaters & Plant Eaters is more than just delicacy. Ms. Treat's writing is spare and elegant, her stories are affecting, and this work is incredible, important. A stunning, powerful book."
–Kim Chinquee
Not a Chance
"As she continues to blend dark humor with darker obsessions, Treat may find herself in a unique position among current women writers: lighter than A.M. Holmes, darker than Lorrie Moore. Not a Chance shimmers with smart, poignant prose."
–San Diego Union Tribune
Short-short Fiction
A Robber in the House
"Treat is a real find."
–Los Angeles Reader's Monthly
"Rigorous and sensual, dream-like and resolutely cerebral, these stories are wry magic." --Mary Gaitskill
