"A wonderfully eccentric and entirely original writer."
-Adrienne Miller, Esquire
Welcome to my website! My latest novel, Next, from Reagan Arthur Books, is the winner of the 2011 Believer Book Award, and it has been named one of the best books of 2010 by George Pelecanos, Michael Schaub, Tod Goldberg, Keith Taylor, Tommy Tomlinson, Ed Nawotka, and the reference librarians of the American Library Association. (Have I ever mentioned how much I love reference librarians?) You can read the first chapter, read reviews and interviews, and purchase the book.
I am also the author of Kings of Infinite Space, The Lecturer's Tale, Publish and Perish, and The Wild Colonial Boy. On this site, you can also find descriptions and reviews of my books (with helpful links to purchase them), my essays from Boston Review and Salon, my book reviews from the New York Times, several interviews, and excerpts of my fiction. There are also links to the websites and blogs of some of my friends, and you can read my on-again, off-again blog.
