Native of Ogallala, Terese Svoboda published her second memoir and 24th book, Hitler and My Mother-in-Law in December of 2025. Publishers Weekly gave it a star, and the New York Times Book Review gave Roxy and Coco, her eighth novel, and The Long Swim, her third story collection a full page in 2024. Theatrix: Poetry Plays, her eighth book of poetry, appeared in 2021.
Terese Svoboda's latest book is Hitler and My Mother-in-Law. Threaded with dark humor and sharp observation, this intriguing memoir interweaves the lives of two women: the author, a renowned writer, and her husband‘s mother, the only female journalist to cover WWII in both Atlantic and Pacific theaters.

“A poetic reimagining of a pathbreaking female reporter in a man’s world of war.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Canny, meandering, and revelatory, it's a remarkable family memoir that stretches across major developments of the 20th century while questioning how the truth gets produced. Readers will be riveted.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Meticulously researched and thoughtful when looking at the past. This is Svoboda at the height of her power as a writer.”
—Electric Literature
