Philp has appeared on several television and radio shows to discuss Emma’s Table, including Joan Hamburg radio show, Steven Gaines radio show, and Plum TV.

"EMMA’S TABLE is a marvel: a whip-smart juggling act, as light as meringue, with a perfectly tender heart. It's a sharply-written story of the forgiveness we need to give and receive to let love into our lives, and its touching spell lasts long after the final page."
Ayelet Waldman, author of LOVE AND OTHER IMPOSSIBLE PURSUITS

"EMMA'S TABLE is a charming urban fairy tale about characters who actually learn from their mistakes. Philip Galanes has written a sweet, sly comedy of manners with an oddly familiar and slightly notorious figure at its center."
Tom Perrotta, best-selling author of LITTLE CHILDREN and THE ABSTINENCE TEACHER


"Sophisticated, witty, and fun, EMMA’S TABLE had me hooked from the first page, and smiling through the very last. Philip Galanes serves up a pitch-perfect comedy of manners with a deft and elegant touch."
Holly Peterson, best-selling author of THE MANNY
