Thank You Kirkus For the Fine Review...

"Thirteen carefully crafted short stories about writers, renegades and other beautiful losers....an offbeat mix of absurdist violence, sexual fantasy, literary experimentation and self-effacing humor."

A New Piece in the New York Times

In the "Drafts" column on the Times site today, I embarrass myself writing about embarrassing and risky writing:

A DARK AND STYLISH PAGE-TURNER FROM A BOLD NEW VOICE IN FICTION

Harry Bloch is a struggling writer who pumps out pulpy serial novels—from vampire books to detective stories—under various pseudonyms. But his life begins to imitate his fiction when he agrees to ghostwrite the memoir of Darian Clay, New York City’s infamous Photo Killer. Soon, three young women turn up dead, each one murdered in the Photo Killer’s gruesome signature style, and Harry must play detective in a real life murder plot as he struggles to avoid becoming the killer’s next victim.

Witty, irreverent and original, The Serialist is a love letter to books—from poetry to pornography—and proof that truth really can be stranger than fiction.

ADVANCE PRAISE

“The Serialist is an entertainingly wicked debut. A literary pulp fiction that flays and skewers post-Millennial New York and along the way reinvents the American detective novel. David Gordon has arrived, brash, irreverent and indecently talented.”

—Evan Wright, author of Generation Kill

“David Gordon has gathered up our cultural trash and made of it something magnificent. In the tradition of Bolano, Chandler, and lots of dime novels that most of us pretend to know nothing about, The Serialist makes high art out of serial murders, pornography, soup dumplings and pulp fiction. I adore this book!”

—Rivka Galchen, author of Atmospheric Disturbances

“The Serialist is a book about many things but above all it’s about storytelling— why and how we tell stories to stay not only sane but also alive. David Gordon writes with style, bite, suspense, humor, and heart. Remember his name. The Serialist is great fun to read and the beginning of a noteworthy career.”

—David Ebershoff, author of The 19th Wife and The Danish Girl
