Böcker av Peter Selgin

The bonds of family; success and failure; philosophy and quantum mechanics; the ways in which we can - and cannot - rewrite our own lives: DUPLICITY weaves all of these together while vivisecting its own genre.

The Kuhreihen Melody examines nostalgia from various angles through an array on lenses.

Unlike other craft books on writing, Your First Page is based on the premise that almost everything that can go right or wrong in a work of fiction or memoir goes wrong or right on the first page.

In all thirteen tales, Selgin exhibits a keen eye for the forces that push people toward-and sometimes beyond-their very human limits, forces as intrinsic, elemental, and elusive as the liquid that makes up two-thirds of their bodies. These stories remind us that of all bodies of water, none is deeper or more dangerous than our own.

In this modern-day picaresque, Peter Selgin narrates an artist's journey from unconventional roots through gritty experience to artistic achievement. With an elegant narrative voice that is, by turns, frank, witty, and acid-tongued, Selgin confronts his past while coming to terms with approaching middle age, reaching self-understanding tempered by reflection, regret, and a sharply self-deprecating sense of humour.
