Praise for Not In This World

“This is very, very good—you will be published. I love Paul and Jane… can’t wait…”

— Tom Maschler — Former Editor in Chief, Publisher at Jonathan Cape; Booker Prize Founder

“The book haunts you and stays with you and breaks your heart. I’m a screenwriter and after reading it I couldn’t stop thinking: this beautiful book has to be made into a movie. My second thought was: I have to write the script.”

— Becky Johnston — Screenwriter, The Prince of Tides, Seven Years in Tibet, The House of Gucci

“Closely-observed, beautifully rendered and deeply affecting, Paul’s story is told with elegance, economy and empathy. Readers, know this: Not in This World is out of this world.”

— Andrew Cohen — Journalist and author of Two Days in June: John F. Kennedy and the 48 Hours That Made History

“Not in This World is a poignant exploration of love and ties between people that defy every one of society’s boundaries. With vivid prose and dialogue so gripping, this novel lingered with me long after I read the last page.”

— Victoria Christopher Murray — Instant New York Times bestselling author of The Personal Librarian

“I actually read the book in a single sitting — fluent, compelling — arresting, insightful and often unique. An extraordinary and powerful character study, almost picaresque, taking place over a lifespan. Filmmakers will love this material.”
