Product Information
Publishers Weekly "Book of the Year" Firecracker Award Finalist "Sheds brilliant light along the meteoric path of American westward expansion. . . . [A] pithy, compact beautifully conducted version of the American Dream, from its portrait of the young wounded soldier in the beginning to its powerful rendering of Crazy Horse's prophecy for life on earth at the end." -- NPR "Like all Mr. Lock's books, this is an ambitious work, where ideas crowd together on the page like desperate men on a battlefield." -- Wall Street Journal In this panoramic tale of Manifest Destiny, Stephen Moran comes of age with the young country that he crosses on the Union Pacific, just as the railroad unites the continent. Propelled westward from his Brooklyn neighborhood and the killing fields of the Civil War to the Battle of Little Big Horn, he befriends Walt Whitman, receives a medal from General Grant, becomes a bugler on President Lincoln's funeral train, goes to work for railroad mogul Thomas Durant, apprentices with frontier photographer William Henry Jackson, and stalks General George Custer. When he comes face-to-face with Crazy Horse, his life will be spared but his dreams haunted for the rest of his days. By turns elegiac and comic, American Meteor is a novel of adventure, ideas, and mourning: a unique vision of America's fabulous and murderous history. Norman Lock is the award-winning author of novels, short fiction, and poetry, as well as stage, radio, and screenplays. His recent works of fiction include the short story collection Love Among the Particles , a Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year, and three books in The American Novels series: The Boy in His Winter , a re-envisioning of Mark Twain's classic The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn ; American Meteor , an homage to Walt Whitman and William Henry Jackson named a Firecracker Award finalist and Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year; and The Port-Wine Stain , a gothic psychological thriller featuring Edgar Allan Poe. Lock lives in Aberdeen, New Jersey.

[His] supple, elegantly plain-spoken prose captures the generosity of the American spirit in addition to its moral failures, and his passionate engagement with our literary heritage evinces pride in its unique character." -- Washington Post "Lock writes some of the most deceptively beautiful sentences in contemporary fiction. Beneath their clarity are layers of cultural and literary references, profound questions about loyalty, race, the possibility of social progress, and the nature of truth . . . to create something entirely new--an American fable of ideas." -- Shelf Awareness On The Boy in His Winter "Brilliant. . . . The Boy in His Winter is a glorious meditation on justice, truth, loyalty, story, and the alchemical effects of love, a reminder of our capacity to be changed by the continuously evolving world ''when it strikes fire against the mind''s flint,'' and by profoundly moving novels like this." -- NPR On American Meteor "[Walt Whitman] hovers over [ American Meteor ], just as Mark Twain''s spirit pervaded The Boy in His Winter . . . . Like all Mr. Lock''s books, this is an ambitious work, where ideas crowd together on the page like desperate men on a battlefield." -- Wall Street Journal On The Port-Wine Stain "Lock''s novel engages not merely with [Edgar Allan Poe and Thomas Dent Mütter] but with decadent fin de siècle art and modernist literature that raised philosophical and moral questions about the metaphysical relations among art, science and human consciousness. The reader is just as spellbound by Lock''s story as [his novel''s narrator] is by Poe''s. . . . Echoes of Wilde''s The Picture of Dorian Gray and Freud''s theory of the uncanny abound in this mesmerizingly twisted, richly layered homage to a pioneer of American Gothic fiction." -- New York Times Book Review On A Fugitive in Walden Woods " A Fugitive in Walden Woods manages that special magic of making Thoreau''s time in Walden Woods seem fresh and surprising and necessary right now. . . . This is a patient and perceptive novel, a pleasure to read even as it grapples with issues that affect the United States to this day." -- Victor LaValle , author of The Ballad of Black Tom and The Changeling On The Wreckage of Eden "The lively passages of Emily [Dickinson''s]''s letters are so evocative of her poetry that it becomes easy to see why Robert finds her so captivating. The book also expands and deepens themes of moral hypocrisy around racism and slavery. . . . Lyrically written but unafraid of the ugliness of the time, Lock''s thought-provoking series continues to impress." -- Publishers Weekly On Feast Day of the Cannibals "Lock does not merely imitate 19th-century prose; he makes it his own, with verbal flourishes worthy of [Herman] Melville." -- Gay & Lesbian Review On American Follies " Ragtime in a fever dream. . . . When you mix 19th-century racists, feminists, misogynists, freaks, and a flim-flam man, the spectacle that results might bear resemblance to the contemporary United States." -- Library Journal (starred review) On Tooth of the Covenant "Splendid. . . . Lock masters the interplay between nineteenth-century [Nathaniel] Hawthorne and his fictional surrogate, Isaac, as he travels through Puritan New England. The historical details are immersive and meticulous." -- Foreword Reviews (starred review), SelectPraise for Norman Lock''s The American NovelsSeries "Shimmers with gloriouslanguage, fluid rhythms, and complex insights." -- NPR "Our national history and literatureare Norman Lock''s playground in his dazzling series, The American Novels. . . .[His] supple, elegantly plain-spoken prose captures the generosity of theAmerican spirit in addition to its moral failures, and his passionateengagement with our literary heritage evinces pride in its unique character."-- Washington Post "Lockwrites some of the most deceptively beautiful sentences in contemporaryfiction.

You can feel the joy leaping off the page." — Full Stop [Lock] is not engaged in neither homage or pastiche but in an intense dialogue with a number of past writers about the process of writing, and the nature of fiction itself . . . taking a trope that seems familiar to readers of the weird but analysing it in the fiercest detail." — Weird Fiction [Lock's] window onto fiction [is] a welcome one: at once referential and playful, occupying a similar post-Borges space to the short stories of Stephen Millhauser and Neil Gaiman." — Vol. 1 Brooklyn All hail Lock, whose narrative soul sings fairy tales, whose language is glass." — KATE BERNHEIMER , editor of xo Orpheus: Fifty New Myths, My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me and Fairy Tale Review [Lock] has an impressive ability to create a unique and original world." — BRIAN EVENSON , author of Windeye and Immobility Lock is one of our great miniaturists, to be read only a single time at one's peril." — TIM HORVATH , author of Understories, Select Praise for Norman Lock''s The American Novels Series "Shimmers with glorious language, fluid rhythms, and complex insights." -- NPR "Our national history and literature are Norman Lock''s playground in his dazzling series, The American Novels. . . . [His] supple, elegantly plain-spoken prose captures the generosity of the American spirit in addition to its moral failures, and his passionate engagement with our literary heritage evinces pride in its unique character." -- Washington Post "Lock writes some of the most deceptively beautiful sentences in contemporary fiction. Beneath their clarity are layers of cultural and literary references, profound questions about loyalty, race, the possibility of social progress, and the nature of truth . . . to create something entirely new--an American fable of ideas." -- Shelf Awareness "[A] consistently excellent series. . . . Lock has an impressive ear for the musicality of language, and his characteristic lush prose brings vitality and poetic authenticity to the dialogue." -- Booklist On The Boy in His Winter "[Lock] is one of the most interesting writers out there. This time, he re-imagines Huck Finn''s journeys, transporting the iconic character deep into America''s past--and future." -- Reader''s Digest On American Meteor "[Walt Whitman] hovers over [ American Meteor ], just as Mark Twain''s spirit pervaded The Boy in His Winter . . . . Like all Mr. Lock''s books, this is an ambitious work, where ideas crowd together on the page like desperate men on a battlefield." -- Wall Street Journal On The Port-Wine Stain "Lock''s novel engages not merely with [Edgar Allan Poe and Thomas Dent Mütter] but with decadent fin de siècle art and modernist literature that raised philosophical and moral questions about the metaphysical relations among art, science and human consciousness. The reader is just as spellbound by Lock''s story as [his novel''s narrator] is by Poe''s. . . . Echoes of Wilde''s The Picture of Dorian Gray and Freud''s theory of the uncanny abound in this mesmerizingly twisted, richly layered homage to a pioneer of American Gothic fiction." -- New York Times Book Review On A Fugitive in Walden Woods " A Fugitive in Walden Woods manages that special magic of making Thoreau''s time in Walden Woods seem fresh and surprising and necessary right now. . . . This is a patient and perceptive novel, a pleasure to read even as it grapples with issues that affect the United States to this day." -- Victor LaValle , author of The Ballad of Black Tom and The Changeling On The Wreckage of Eden "The lively passages of Emily [Dickinson''s]''s letters are so evocative of her poetry that it becomes easy to see why Robert finds her so captivating. The book also expands and deepens themes of moral hypocrisy around racism and slavery. . . . Lyrically written but unafraid of the ugliness of the time, Lock''s thought-provoking series continues to impress." -- Publishers Weekly On Feast Day of the Cannibals "Lock does not merely imitate 19th-century prose; he makes it his own, with verbal flourishes worthy of [Herman] Melville." -- Gay & Lesbian Review On American Follies " Ragtime in a fever dream. . . . When you mix 19th-century racists, feminists, misogynists, freaks, and a flim-flam man, the spectacle that results might bear resemblance to the contemporary United States." -- Library Journal (starred review) On Tooth of the Covenant "Splendid. . . . Lock masters the interplay between nineteenth-century [Nathaniel] Hawthorne and his fictional surrogate, Isaac, as he travels through Puritan New England. The historical details are immersive and meticulous." -- Foreword Reviews (starred review) On Voices in the Dead House "Gripping. . . . The legacy of John Brown looms over both Alcott and Whitman [in] a haunting novel that offers candid portraits of literary legends." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), Advance Praise for American Meteor "[ American Meteor ] feels like a campfire story, an old-fashioned yarn full of rich historical detail about hard-earned lessons and learning to do right." -- Publishers Weekly ("Pick of the Week" starred review) Praise for Norman Lock "[Lock's fiction] shimmers with glorious language, fluid rhythms, and complex insights." -- NPR "One of the most interesting writers out there." -- Reader's Digest "One of our country's unsung treasures." -- Green Mountains Review "Our finest modern fabulist." -- Bookslut "A master storyteller." -- Largehearted Boy "[A] contemporary master of the form [and] virtuosic fabulist." -- Flavorwire "A master of the unusual." -- Slice magazine "Lock's work mines the stuff of dreams." -- Rumpus "One could spend forever worming through [Lock's] magicked words, their worlds." -- Believer "No other writer in recent memory, lives up to [Whitman's] declaration that behind every book there is a hand reaching out to us, a hand to be held onto, a hand that has the power to touch us, to make us feel." -- Detroit Metro Times "Lock is a rapturous storyteller, and his tales are never less than engrossing." -- Kenyon Review "Lock writes some of the most deceptively beautiful sentences in contemporary fiction. Beneath their clarity are layers of cultural and literary references, profound questions about loyalty, race, the possibility of social progress, and the nature of truth." -- Shelf Awareness "Lock plays profound tricks, with language--his is crystalline and underline-worthy." -- Publishers Weekly "Lock's stories stir time as though it were a soup . . . beyond the entertainment lie 21st-century conundrums: What really exists? Are we each, ultimately, alone and lonely? Where is technology taking humankind?" -- Kirkus Reviews "Lock's writing is beautiful, with clean, clear, perfect sentences . . . seducing the reader with language and narrative into a fully realized alternative world." -- Shelf Awareness for Readers "I can't think of another author who takes such evident, vocal delight in bending the laws of physics and geography (to say nothing of his flouting of various narratological and fictional norms). You can feel the joy leaping off the page." -- Full Stop "[Lock] is not engaged in neither homage or pastiche but in an intense dialogue with a number of past writers about the process of writing, and the nature of fiction itself . . . taking a trope that seems familiar to readers of the weird but analysing it in the fiercest detail." -- Weird Fiction "[Lock's] window onto fiction [is] a welcome one: at once referential and playful, occupying a similar post-Borges space to the short stories of Stephen Millhauser and Neil Gaiman." -- Vol. 1 Brooklyn "All hail Lock, whose narrative soul sings fairy tales, whose language is glass." -- KATE BERNHEIMER , editor of xo Orpheus: Fifty New Myths, My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me and Fairy Tale Review "[Lock] has an impressive ability to create a unique and original world." -- BRIAN EVENSON , author of Windeye and Immobility "Lock is one of our great miniaturists, to be read only a single time at one's peril." -- TIM HORVATH , author of Understories
