Tom Bissell vividly renders the complex worlds of characters on the brink of artistic and personal crisis–writers, actors, and other creative types who see things slightly differently from the rest of us.

Gomez’s witty memoir follows a touching and often hilarious spiralic path to embracing his gay, Latinx identity against a culture of machismo—from his uncle’s cockfighting ring in Nicaragua to cities across the U.S.—and the bath houses, night clubs, and drag queens who helped him redefine pride.

A wry and bold debut novel, A Novel Obsession is an edgy and humorous catastrophe waiting to happen when an aspiring novelist finds herself stalking—and then writing about—her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend.
