News and Newsletter

Greetings! I'm delighted to announce that my new novel, Mercury Pictures Presents, is coming out this summer. In the run-up to publication, I want to reconnect with readers in a way that feels more intimate than social media. To that end, I’ve devised a free, fun monthly newsletter dedicated to discussing books I love, books you recommend, and books my cats have fallen asleep on.

Salka Valka by Halldór Laxness
"Another excellent translation from the archipelago imprint. While it got bogged down at times and seemed a bit bloated in its politics, it proved fascinating. Not an easy read, but worthy. "

"A very interesting and well written book…Hollywood through a different lens. Read it..you won’t be sorry."

“We wear clothes, and speak, and create civilizations, and believe we are more than wolves. But inside us there is a word we cannot pronounce and that is who we are.”
Anthony Marra, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena

“Life: a constellation of vital phenomena—organization, irritability, movement, growth, reproduction, adaptation.”
Anthony Marra, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena

“There is something miraculous in the way the years wash away your evidence, first you, then your friends and family, then the descendants who remember your face, until you aren’t even a memory, you’re only carbon, no greater than your atoms, and time will divide them as well.”
Anthony Marra, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena
