His other books are TRANCE, a 2005 National Book Award finalist for fiction; THE FUGITIVES, which Viet Thanh Nguyen, writing in the New York Times Book Review, described as "elegantly constructed...it is its own kind of daring for an author to aim for the understated, the concise and the perfectly joined"; SOUND ON SOUND, "a brilliant and complex novel about remembered truths and modern ennui" (The Los Angeles Reader); as well as AMERICAN TEMPURA, a novella, and DEATH WISH, about the 1974 film of the same name.
