Great Disasters (Now available for pre-order!)
I am excited to share that my debut novel, GREAT DISASTERS, will be published by Tin House Books, forthcoming September 30 2025. The book is now available for pre-order (click on this text to pre-order from the bookseller of your choice!) and I hope you’ll consider doing so. Pre-orders are essentially sales of the book before the publication date (you buy the book now and it arrives on your doorstep in September). Pre-orders can do a lot to help a book get more visibility and support, and I’d so appreciate you pre-ordering if you are inclined. Again, you can do so by clicking on this text. I would love to share more news related to the book with you over the coming year. If you are interested in receiving updates on the book—pre-order information, upcoming readings, interviews, etc.—please do sign up at the form below. I promise to be judicious in sharing updates ; ) Here’s a little more about the book: Great Disasters is a novel set in Chicago against the backdrop of 9/11, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the protests against them. The book follows six young men coming of age in that context, and explores themes of friendship, addiction, first love, diverging paths, memory, and how people are shaped to be the people they become. It is a story about a betrayal, and the unexpected consequences of that betrayal in the lives of the six friends. I can’t wait to share it with you.
