My first novel, The Land of Steady Habits is out now from Little, Brown. It's about Connecticut and commuters, but it's also about love and betrayal and work and ritual and an elderly box turtle named Relic and a mysterious drug called "Peruvian Salt." 
“Literature is the record we have of the conversation between those of us now alive on earth and everyone who’s come before and will come after, the cumulative repository of humanity’s knowledge, wonder, curiosity, passion, rage, grief and delight. It’s as useless as a spun-sugar snowflake and as practical as a Swiss Army knife.”
Dana Stevens and Adam Kirsch discuss whether literature should be considered useful. (via millionsmillions)
