Brisk and shockingly witty, exuberantly scatological as well as deeply wise, The
Novelist is a delight. Jordan Castro is a rare new talent: an author highly
attuned to the traditions he is working within while also offering a
refreshingly fun sendup of life beset by the endless scroll. -Mary South, author
of You Will Never Be Forgotten
In Jordan Castro's inventive, funny, and surprisingly tender first novel, we
follow a young man over the course of a single morning as he tries and fails to
write an autobiographical novel, finding himself instead drawn into the infinite
spaces of Twitter, quotidian rituals, and his own mind.
The act of making coffee prompts a reflection on the limits of self-knowledge;
an editor's embarrassing tweet sparks rage at the literary establishment; a
meditation on first person versus third examines choice and action; an Instagram
post about the ethics of having children triggers mimetic rivalry; the act of
doing the dishes is at once ordinary...
