In March Godine will publish Life Sentences (@JonathanCape) in US:
“(A novel) as involved with the rhetoric of people’s personal stories as it is with the Hand of Fate’s pointed finger... O’Callaghan is a new writer to me & I’m happy to have made the discovery.” Ann Beattie

'This book is not really me looking into that world, but rather me looking out from it.'

Simon Van Booy talks with @JenniferSolheim about his new novel, NIGHT CAME WITH MANY STARS, out now from Godine.
