R. Clifton Spargo has won Glimmer Train's Award for New Writers as well as their Fiction Open Contest, and is a recent finalist for the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction. He is a graduate of Edinburgh University and has taught creative writing at numerous universities. He writes a blog for the Huffington Post.
'This is historical fiction at its best - Evocative, wistful, suffused with a sense of loss and longing' TLS 'A work of genuine literary talent - Spargo's characters transcend reality and become rich and fictional, and the novel, in the form's paradoxical brilliance - speaks truth through invention. Spargo's Fitzgeralds come alive' Spectator
