Jay Funk Dawg Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Reviews look good... WHO BY FIRE, WHO BY BLOOD is a thinking man's thriller—smart, relentless, impossible to put down. Is this really his first novel? Jon Papernick can write." Jennifer Haigh, Bestselling author of Baker Towers and Mrs. Kimble; winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award. WHO BY FIRE, WHO BY BLOOD "Jon Papernick's Who by Fire, Who by Blood is a psychological thriller with a complex soul... he describes the quest to save oneself by redeeming history, and the perilous consequences that arise from confusing the two tasks. It's a harrowing, distinguished book." -- Steve Stern, author of The Wedding Jester, and The Angel of Forgetfulness. Winner of the National Jewish Book Award. "Jon Papernick's Who by Fire, Who by Blood will draw you in with its increasingly horrifying plot. But what will haunt you forever is how Papernick brings you right up to the border between justice and terror, and then makes that border disappear. Open this book carefully. You will close it changed." --Dara Horn, author of In The Image and The World to Come. Named by Granta Magazine as one of the best young American novelists. Winner of the National Jewish Book Award.

Patchoulia Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 You *know* I'll be there...if only to say I've met a published author... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Oh great. Now my author-friend is going to hear I'm friends with Stoned Phillips. I'll never live that one down... Oh, and in case you're wondering, I am well aware that you don't consider me a *real* published author. Truth be told ... neither do I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Dude, you know I'm just messin' with ya. You're TOTALLY a "real" author. Just cuz the topic on which you wrote is a major snooze-fest, doesn't negate or diminish its or your legitimacy. Seriously, though, the book does sound intriguing and I probably will come to the launch and get a copy..sounds like fun.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I'd love to introduce you. Jon's a great guy. He and I used to see punk and hardcore bands together in the mid-80s. Then he got all respectable and stuff. Gotta hate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allison Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Does the fact that two of the three reviewers are winners of the National Jewish Book Award mean something? Not that it matters at all...but just curious whether that means it has been reviewed by them because it's a Jewish author/literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Allison, you are correct. Jon was a reporter in Israel for many years. He is also Jewish, and playing up that end of things has certainly been of benefit to him; at least for marketing purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 StoneMtn, I'd love to be at this, were I only able in town then; I remember reading his other book, The Ascent of Eli Israel on your recommendation, and it utterly impressed me (i.e., the stories are all very much still stuck in my head). Wish him luck for me, a long-distance fan . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
