Mitch Berman (born May 29, 1956) is an American fiction writer known for his imaginative range, exploration of characters beyond the margins of society, lush prose style and dark humor. ==''Time Capsule''== Berman's novel ''Time Capsule'', the tale of a jazz saxophonist's journey across a post-apocalyptic America, was nominated by its publisher, Putnam, for the Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award and the Pulitzer Prize.〔Contemporary Authors (''Contemporary Authors Online''), Detroit: Gale, 2002.〕 A ''New York Times'' "New and Noteworthy Book,",〔''The New York Times'', April 24, 1988, "New and Noteworthy", Sunday, Late City Final Edition, Section 7; Page 46, Column 1; Book Review Desk.〕 the novel evoked comparisons with Mark Twain's ''Huckleberry Finn'',〔Locus Index to Science Fiction: 1984-1988, http://www.locusmag.com/index/b51.htm.〕 and the musicality of its author's style was noted by many critics, including Fanny Howe in ''The New York Times'',〔"Berman's prose is risky and phonic, emanating from the horn of jazz", Fanny Howe, Sunday New York Times Book Review, 1987.〕 the ''San Diego Union'' ("a pied piper laying down a hypnotic line of patter"), the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' ("reminiscent of a Thelonius Monk solo"), and Kurt Vonnegut ("high-intensity jazz for the very sharpest of readers"). Carolyn See, in the ''The Los Angeles Times'', hailed "a brave and heartening book" and the author's "absolutely perfect ear for dialogue."〔''Los Angeles Times'', Los Angeles, California: Jun 1, 1987, pg. 4.〕 The novel's editor was the late Faith Sale, who also worked with Kurt Vonnegut, Joseph Heller, Thomas Pynchon, Amy Tan and Kazuo Ishiguro.〔''Publishers Weekly'', http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA167704.html.〕
