Stewart O'Nan | West of Sunset with Peter Carey | Amnesia
Stewart O’Nan was named one of America’s Best Young Novelists by Granta for his “strangely beautiful” (Los Angeles Times) 1996 debut Snow Angels, which was adapted into a film by David Gordon Green. His acclaimed fiction also includes A Prayer for the Dying, Last Night at the Lobster, and Emily, Alone. O’Nan is also the author of two works of nonfiction, a screenplay, and a story collection. His new novel follows F. Scott Fitzgerald’s last years in Hollywood.
Two-time winner of the prestigious Booker Prize, Peter Carey “has built a distinguished career out of offbeat, risk-taking novels” (Time). His comic, ebullient, richly rendered novels include Oscar and Lucinda, True History of the Kelly Gang, and Parrot and Olivier in America. Carey has also won three Miles Franklin Awards, Australia’s highest literary honor. His new novel is a story of incarceration, strained relations with America, and secrets.
