Bradford Morrow is the author of eight novels, including Trinity Fields, The Diviner's Tale and The Prague Sonata, as well as a short story collection, The Uninnocent. He is the founding editor of Conjunctions and has contributed to many anthologies and journals. A Bard Center Fellow and professor of literature at Bard College, he lives in New York City.
Those who like their murder mysteries soft-boiled and with a
literary bent will love The Forgers. Devotees of Arthur Conan Doyle
will especially appreciate Bradford Morrow's exploration of the
seamy underbelly of the rare book world. . . . Morrow's language is
so pitch perfect, his metaphors so startling, and his truths so
pithy that you continue to listen to his tale with a growing
fascination and unease.
*New York Journal of Books*
An excellent suspense novel. . . . Bradford Morrow is, quite
skillfully, paying homage to one of Agatha Christie's most famous
whodunits. Yet even then, he offers a few twists of his own and
will keep all but the most astute mystery aficionado guessing about
the truth until the end.
*Washington Post*
[A] consistently unnerving mystery. . . . The best moments in The
Forgers come . . . from its intimate knowledge of books, details
about signatures, ink, bindings, the slant of Arthur Conan Doyle's
handwriting . . . creating an ambience of old-fashioned gothic
suspense that bibliophiles in particular will enjoy.
*USA Today*
The Forgers is remarkable. Bradford Morrow is remarkable. The Real
Thing, which is rare on this earthly plane
*Michael Cunningham*
The Forgers is quintessential Bradford Morrow. Brilliantly written
as a suspense novel, lethally enthralling to read, and filled with
arcane, fascinating information - in this case, the rarified world
of high-level literary forgery.
*Joyce Carol Oates*
