At Amazon.com, I see that my friend Jason Makansi’s novel, The Moment Before, will be out in November.
It’s about “a woman and her beloved Syrian father, separated forty years earlier when he is swept up in a geopolitical odyssey from hell, are almost reunited by a lawyer struggling to save his Illinois hometown from financial ruin.” I read a gripping draft of it this past summer, and I am pumped to facilitate a reading group of his book this fall.

Is this the Jason from one of our writing classes last summer? Very cool! Good news!
ReplyDeleteOne and the same!
ReplyDeletePretty cool! I don't like to commit to anything too far in advance, but I'd be interested in reading this :)
