Hi, all -
My fourth novel, THE SONG IS YOU, comes out April 7. It's a love story of sorts, and an exploration of music, fandom, obsession, loss... Also, it has dogs.

Also, the audio book is available early, if you're into that sort of thing: http://tinyurl.com/dyw93w.

interviews

April 2009, Arthur Phillips
"[Musicians] are doing "it" right in front of us. They are experiencing heavy emotion, emotion we envy. And they are moving our bodies, literally, from a distance. And they are inspiring us to feel something more deeply than many of us can feel in private. Under these circumstances, it's actually rather remarkable the entire audience doesn't rush the stage and declare their love." ...More

"No one ever knew they were old-fashioned; everyone always thought they were up-to-the-minute: Rickety Model T cars weren't rickety when they were invented, scratchy radio wasn't scratchy until television, and silent movies weren't a feeble precursor of talkies until there were talkies. Your two-piece telephone that demanded that you hold a cylinder to your ear while you screeched into the wall demanding a particular exchange of a harried, plug-juggling operator was the highest of high-tech. To know it was anything less would have been like acknowledging you were going to die and life was transient and you were already halfway to being a memory or worse. The real and worst tragedy of twentieth-century East Europeans: They had known they were old-fashioned before they could do anything about it."
Arthur Phillips (Prague: A Novel)

"He fell in love with Manhattan's skyline, like a first-time brothel guest falling for a seasoned professional. He mused over her reflections in the black East River at dusk, dawn, or darkest night, and each haloed light-in a tower or strung along the jeweled and sprawling spider legs of the Brooklyn Bridge's spans-hinted at some meaning, which could be understood only when made audible by music and encoded in lyrics."
