Thomas MALTMAN ... The Night Birds (Soho Press, 2007)
THOMAS MALTMAN is the author of The Night Birds (Soho Press, 2007), a lushly imagined first novel set in the Midwest of 19th-century America. One of the great discoveries of 2007. You might like to check out Tom’s blog at The Grumpy Griffin for tips on making your prose not only shine but sing too.
I am a senior book and magazine editor who lives in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I love books and the freedom to read whatever makes me happy: both fiction and nonfiction. I have always been obsessed with the relationship between literature and life and its role in society. As an editor, I have edited many books, but never get tired of the grand adventure of reading. We must never underestimate the redeeming power of fiction in our lives. The idea that there is something out there that is far, far bigger than our lives sustains some of our lives. I am the co-editor of URBAN ODYSSEYS: KL STORIES.
