Molly Brodak (March 29, 1980 – March 8, 2020) was an American poet, writer, and baker. She was the author of the poetry collection A Little Middle of the Night (University of Iowa Press, 2010) and the memoir Bandit (Grove Press, 2016).[1] The Atlanta Journal and Constitution described Bandit as: "a book about stories and character, of how events and actions shape who we are, how a father becomes one person, how a daughter grows up to be another."[2] The New York Times called Bandit "a good book, and with good reason,"[3] while Kirkus called it: "an intelligent, disturbing, and profoundly honest memoir."[4]
