Phoebe Rhinehart

Literary Assistant at Creative Artists Agency building my own list. I graduated from Harvard College with a BA in Human Evolutionary Biology and the London School of Economics and Political Science with an Msc in Behavioural Science. I am interested in interior, voice-driven literary fiction that examines the human condition, identity/persona, perception, uncertainty, and sanity/disorder grounded in well-observed prose. Humor, satire, and experimentation with form welcome.

Examples: Case Study, The Apple in the Dark, Malina, My Men, Piranesi, Gretel and the Great War, Termush, When We Cease to Understand the World, The Most Secret History of Men, The Extinction of Irena Rey, Kairos, I Who Have Never Known Men

I am also looking for high concept and cross-disciplinary academic nonfiction pertaining to the history of ideas, culture and social psychology, consciousness and cognition, spirituality, aesthetics, time, math, and (meta)physics. New, big, ambitious theories about our world, our universe, and the ineffable told with personality and infectious passion. Paradigm-shifting analysis. Memoir that readjudicates ambiguous, taboo, misunderstood life experience.

Examples: The Order of Time, Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea, Many Worlds in One, The Agony of Eros, Family Values: Between Neoliberalism and the New Social Conservatism, The Story Game, An Unquiet Mind, Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult, Consent
