My book, THE MAN NOBODY KILLED, came out a week ago. It's been well received (goodreads is an imperfect metric, but 4.48 is an absurd rating). I get the sense, however, that it hasn't gotten much traction amid, well *gestures*. bookshop.org/p/books/the-... - ThreadSky

My book, THE MAN NOBODY KILLED, came out a week ago. It's been well received (goodreads is an imperfect metric, but 4.48 is an absurd rating). I get the sense, however, that it hasn't gotten much traction amid, well *gestures*. https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-man-nobody-killed-life-death-and-art-in-michael-stewart-s-new-york-elon-green/21413642

My pitch? This is a book about a vulnerable population crushed by the state, a law enforcement apparatus unbound by laws, and the herculean efforts necessary even *approach* a just result.

In other words, a book set in 1983 is timely as hell. https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-man-nobody-killed-life-death-and-art-in-michael-stewart-s-new-york-elon-green/21413642

If you want to talk to me about the book, give me a shout. (And if you've already read it, well. . . I am eternally grateful.)
