Michael Paterniti, who will be in Pittsburgh for the Pittsburgh Contemporary Writers’ Series on Sept. 24th, is on the National Book Award’s Nonfiction Longlist!
“The diversity of the category’s non-memoirs is equally striking, from Cynthia Barnett’s study of rain—which stretches from the Earth’s beginnings to contemporary India—to Martha Hodes’s deep dive into the death of Lincoln; from Sy Montgomery’s investigation into the emotional lives of octopi to Susanna Moore’s history of the state she grew up in, Hawaii. Finally, Michael Paterniti’s essays range from the tale of a giant in rural Ukraine to a cross-country drive with Albert Einstein’s brain.”
