Broad Audience: This is for readers of fiction that tackles big ideas while not neglecting a propulsive plot- think readers of Little Fires Everywhere mixed with fans of Breaking Bad. Glowing praise from well-known writers and outlets for previous books: "Almond's language is rendered in precise strokes, void of bland modernist generalities, with metaphors so original and spot-on that they read like epiphanies.” San Francisco Chronicle "A gifted storyteller, Almond hooks you on the first page and keeps the thrills coming.” People Magazine "Steve Almond is one of our finest literary provocateurs. His stories are without equal in their beautiful terrible honesty.” Junot Diaz "[Almond's work] will make you grateful—for wit, for self-effacing humor, for joyful obsessiveness, for the precise and loving use of language to crack open and celebrate our oddness—in short, for a writer as funny and big-hearted as Steve Almond.” George Saunders "Mr. Almond ... is a shifty cornerback of a writer: rangy, sarcastic, offbeat. And every once in a while, he'll blindside you with a big hit.” Dwight Garner, New York Times Well Connected Author: Steve is the former host of Dear Sugars podcast / radio show with bestselling author Cheryl Strayed.
