Dear Tod, There aren't a lot of authors whom I regularly google in the hope of a new novel, but you are one of them. Are you working on a book at the moment? Karen (in Glasgow, Scotland)

Karen,
I'm genuinely happy that one of the five or six people googling me is googling me from Glasgow. This feels awesome and legitimizing in a way that someone in New York googling me just wouldn't. (I have googled myself from New York. You just get the same boring shit.)
To answer your question, Yes! Right now, in fact. Or I should be but I'm doodling around online. It's a novel called Der Tod. It's also a memoir full of lies. I hope to have it finished by the end of next year. (Meaning, I'll probably have it finished by the end of 2021.) It feels like the book I was born to write.

I just read your review of Nadas's PS. I read this book when it first came out in '11, and like you I was overwhelmed, besotted, etc. At the time most reviews were negative. I really appreciate you championing this masterpiece. I see you are a highly accomplished author in your own right. I hope to soon read your novels. Has Nadas has been an influence for you when writing about the body?
