PETER QUINN'S NEW YORK: "YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEARCH FOR IT…YOU JUST LIVE IT."


th-1“Having been raised in New York I feel I received an enormous gift.  People travel all over the world to write in exotic places, but you grow up here, in the boroughs, it’s like living in different worlds.  The older I get the more I’m stuck by the drama of change that goes on around us.  It’s a great gift for a novelist.  You don’t have to search for it. In New York you just live it. ”  Peter Quinn.

 

Why did Peter Quinn write his trilogy, The Hour of the Cat, The Man Who Never Returned and Dry Bones? Watch this short video narrated by Quinn and you’ll learn why. 

 

“Peter Quinn is a poet and an historian and one of our finest storytellers. He sits at the fireside of the American imagination. He can carve mystery out of mystery. His work is generous and agile and profound.” – Colum McCann

 

“…another work of intricate structure, suspense and wit…”
Wall Street Journal

 

Dry Bones is a savvy, suspenseful tale of World War II espionage and Cold War skullduggery “- William Kennedy, Pulitzer Prize Winner

  1. Wonderful! I have a new appreciation for New York. Can’t wait to read the book.

  2. Yo, Don Carlos, You’ve outdone yourself! I ‘ve never met this Quinn hombre, but I’ve heard a lot about him (most of it bad). Anyway, you’ve not only done Quinn a wonderful mitzvah, you’ve made a terrific video. This is such a great tool for authors to promote their work! I hope it brings you a lot of work! Muchas gracias, Don Pedro

    1. Thanks so much for the kind words, Peter. I appreciate that.
