About this author

Scott O’Connor was born in Syracuse, New York. 'Among Wolves', his 2004 novella about a boy who believes his parents have been replaced by imposters, was praised by the Los Angeles Times Book Review for its “crisp, take-no-prisoners style.”

'Untouchable', his first novel, will be published by Tyrus Books in May, 2011. He lives with his family in Los Angeles.



The first chapter of ‘Untouchable’ will be included in the new ‘Literary Pasadena’ anthology (along with work by Michelle Huneven, Jim Krusoe, David Ebershoff and others). Some of the contributors (including me) will be part of a reading/discussion at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena on April 18th at 7pm. More info on the event is here.

description: A launch party for author Scott O'Connor and his new novel, 'Untouchable'.

“O’Connor’s prose is as beautifully terse as his plot…It’s an affecting mix, squeezing the reader’s emotions so that when the myth of the “perfect” family begins to dissolve through flashbacks, it feels like the inevitable waking from a halcyon dream.” — Daniel Kraus, Booklist
