![]() ![]() "The Good Son" starts out in the East (Ohio), New York and in New England (Vermont, etc.), where Nova lived for over three decades, and its denouement takes place in both the West (Washington) and East, New York. And the books share similar geography, with stories that either take place largely in the East (as it does in "The Congressman's Daughter"), or which begin on the East coast and gradually move West. The next three, his third, fourth and fifth books ( The Good Son, The Congressman's Daughter and Tornado Alley) are often thought of as his Passion Trilogy, sharing similar structures (each novel is broken up into different "books" each novel is narrated in the first person by a variety of characters, male and female). The first two novels, written in the 1970s, were basically coming of age or bildungsroman novels. His fourteen novels thus far are somewhat thematically linked. Nova received an Award in Literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters and received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1997. His first novel, "Turkey Hash", won the prestigious Harper-Saxton Award. ![]() His short story, "The Prince," won an O.Henry Award. His writing has appeared in Esquire, The Paris Review, The New York Times Magazine, and Men's Journal, among others. ![]()
