Allison Parker's nonfiction has appeared in publications such as the Chicago Tribune, Travel Weekly, New York Restaurant Insider, and Pastry Art & Design. An excerpt from her critical essay on Lawrence Durrell and the painter Paul Cézanne appeared in Deus Loci, the journal of the International Durrell Society, and a personal essay on literal and metaphorical free-fall appeared in The SUN. Her short fiction can be found in the literary journal The Same (Volume 8, Number 1).
Additionally, she has written two book-length manuscripts of fiction: Her original novel tells the story of three generations of women and the migration from Greece to America that drives them apart. Ms. Parker's translation into English of the French novel Clair de femme, by Romain Gary, charts the emotional journey of a man who loves his wife beyond reason and who must nevertheless learn to let her go--a tragicomic story of the 1970s that foreshadowed the importance of end-of-life politics in present society.
