EspañolMYLA GOLDBERG
'Myla Goldberg' (born 1972) is an American novelist and musician.
Goldberg grew up in Laurel, Maryland, and studied English at Oberlin College. She spent a year teaching and writing in Prague (the subject of her book of essays ''Time's Magpie''), then moved to Brooklyn, New York, where she still lives.
Her first published novel, ''Bee Season'' (2000), portraying the breakdown of a family and the spiritual explorations of its two children amid a series of spelling bees, was a rapid popular and critical success. ''Bee Season'' was adapted into a film in 2005. She has also published short stories in ''Virgin Fiction'', ''Eclectic Literary Forum'', and ''American Writing''. Her latest novel, ''Wickett's Remedy'' (2005), is set during the 1918 influenza epidemic.
As a musician, she plays banjo, and accordion in the band The Walking Hellos, and has performed with The Galerkin Method and the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus. She collaborates occasionally with the New York art collective Flux Factory.
Goldberg lives with her husband, cartoonist Jason Little, and their two daughters.
"Song for Myla Goldberg" is track six on The Decemberists's album Her Majesty The Decemberists. It makes a handful of allusions to ''Bee Season''.
