I cannot emphasize enough what it would mean to me if you preordered Colossus, my new novel, out at the end of April. There are a lot of Substack complaints about the failures of contemporary fiction—too dull, too inward-looking, too obsessed with coastal elites—and this novel, I believe, is a true counterforce to that. It’s capital F Fiction and you’re going to like it. It’s not about a writer in Brooklyn. It’s about a powerful, rich, and adulterous pastor of the Midwest, an Elmer Gantry, and it’s also a novel of the Trump age. It doesn’t run away from the moment we’re in. You won’t be disappointed.
