BART SCHNEIDER is the author of the novels Blue Bossa, a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; Secret Love, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year; Beautiful Inez; and The Man in the Blizzard. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Schneider’s vision of a world where everyone, high and low, criminal and otherwise, is susceptible to the clarion call of poetry is somewhere between parody and utopia, but either way, it’s utterly delightful. —Booklist —
