Berg's other works include "Open House," "Talk Before Sleep," "The Year of Pleasures," "Durable Goods" and "Joy School."īefore becoming a writer, Berg was a waitress, a singer in a rock band and a registered nurse for 10 years. The campaign ends on April 1 at the 31st annual Love of Literacy Luncheon, where Berg, a New York Times best-selling author, will be the featured speaker.
