Jeffrey Fleishman

Shadow Man (Steerforth Press)

Los Angeles Times Cairo bureau chief Jeffrey Fleishman reads and signs his haunting novel about a journalist whose early-onset Alzheimer's has taken most of his memories, and his wife and nurse who try to bring them back. "Vibrant prose and masterful shifts in narrative temporalities make this psychological-noir a must-read." --Publishers Weekly "Effortless elegance powers Jeffrey Fleishman’s prose, lending it a dreamy grace. He brings you along into this other world, in which mystery and the mind are the same, and at times you feel as though your guide is Marguerite Duras or perhaps Michael Ondaatje." --Steve Lopez, author of The Soloist Jeffrey Fleishman, a Harvard Nieman fellow and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, is a foreign correspondent for The Los Angeles Times, currently serving as the paper's Cairo bureau chief. He has covered wars in Kosovo, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. His first novel, Promised Virgins: A Novel of Jihad, was published in 2009. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS SEPTEMBER 10, 2012.
