Aleksandar Hemon, author of THE LAZARUS PROJECT, discussion & signing May 6, 2008

Aleksandar Hemon is the author of two enthusiastically received books: The Question of Bruno and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Nowhere Man. A frequent contributor to The New Yorker, Hemon has won numerous prestigious awards for his work, including a recent MacArthur Foundation “genius grant.” Now, Riverhead Books is excited to be publishing Hemon’s novel, THE LAZARUS PROJECT, on May 1, 2008. In an early review, BookForum wrote, “The Lazarus Project is the fearless and spirited expression of a turbulent literary talent and, at the same time, a cold, fierce blast of moral outrage. For all Hemon’s nods to other writers—one catches glimpses not only of Nabokov and Sebald but of Bulgakov, Pamuk, Amis, Poe—he is entirely his own man, an original who owes no debts to anyone.”
