I’m thrilled to have the opening pages of my novel-in-progress, After the Levantines, selected for a 2022 First Pages Prize by Justin Torres. The recognition comes at a time when I’m deep in a revision of the draft, which began as a story collection in 2018. I’m very grateful to the committee and to Justin Torres, for the recognition and support of this project. Learn more about the First Page Prize, and all the prizewinners here.
