Jedediah Berry was raised in the Hudson Valley region of New York State. His short stories have appeared in journals and anthologies including Best New American Voices and Best American Fantasy. He lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, where he works as assistant editor of Small Beer Press.
"Jedediah Berry knows magic. The Manual of Detection combines the intricacy and thoughtfulness of Borges and Kafka with the page-turning excitement of a detective thriller.... This novel is a master puzzle, with all the show-stopping elements of a flock of doves flying out of a magician's sleeve. It made me laugh, thrill, think, and wonder."—Hannah Tinti, author of The Good Thief
