Atticus Lish
Atticus Lish (born 1972, age 43) is an American novelist. His debut, ''Preparation for the Next Life'' (New York: Tyrant, 2014), caught its independent publisher “off guard” by becoming a surprise success, winning a number of awards including the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. Lish lives in Sunset Park, Brooklyn with his wife. He is the son of influential literary editor Gordon Lish.
==''Preparation for the Next Life''==
''Preparation for the Next Life'' is set mostly in Flushing, Queens, and follows two new arrivals to the city. Zou Lei is an undocumented immigrant from the Chinese province of Xinjiang, daughter of a Uighur mother and a Han father. Brad Skinner is a Pennsylvania-born veteran of the Iraq war. While struggling to survive in New York’s underground economy, Zou Lei meets Skinner, who is suffering from untreated combat trauma. Their attempts to build a life together, overcoming the violence, predation, and alienation surrounding them, amount to what ''Times'' critic Dwight Garner has called “perhaps the finest and most unsentimental love story of the new decade”. The judges of the 2015 PEN/Faulkner Award praised the book for its blend of documentary detail and "incantation," stating that it "scours and illuminates the vast, traumatized America that lives, works and loves outside the castle gates."
