I first encountered Kurt around the publication of his first novel — which Exciting Press would go on to produce as an ebook. It was during a phase when popular men’s fiction was leaning toward what was then called “lad lit” — with Nick Hornby perhaps the most prominent author (of novels like High Fidelity and Fever Pitch).
Kurt lives and works in and around Manhattan, and has written several other novels already, all of which I’ve enjoyed.
