you can now pre-order BOY FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY “A monumental event for anyone who cares about Dylan. Sussman has written one of the Great Millennial Novels and proved himself an inheritor of Dylan’s lyrical tradition.” -David Yaffe, "Bob Dylan: Like a Complete Unknown"

proud to have joined 80 writers at @PENamerica's Emergency World Voices Congress of Writers @UN last Friday. “A poem will not stop a bullet, a novel cannot defuse a bomb,” @SalmanRushdie said. But writers can still “sing the truth, and name the lies.”

Authors from 30 countries held an “emergency” meeting at the United Nations to address the multiple crises of the moment — and whether stories can help.

“One does best to separate an artist from his work. The artist is only the precondition of his work, the womb, the soil, sometimes the dung and manure out of which it grows." –– Nietzsche telling on himself (Genealogy of Morals)
