Tom Lutz
We are thrilled to work with author, editor, and professor Tom Lutz on yet another book. Tom is a returning client. We’ve worked on his first novel, Born Slippy, as well as on other projects during his time as Editor-in-Chief of the Los Angeles Review of Books.
Professor Tom Lutz is a writer of books, articles, and screenplays, the founder of the Los Angeles Review of Books, and is now a Distinguished Professor at UC Riverside. His books include American Book Award winner Doing Nothing, New York Times notable books Crying and American Nervousness, 1903, the travel books And the Monkey Learned Nothing and Drinking Mare’s Milk on the Roof of the World, and Born Slippy: A Novel. He has two upcoming books, Still Slippy: A Novel, and 1925: A Literary Encyclopedia.
He has written for television and film and appeared in scores of national and international newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and edited collections. He is working with a Los Angeles-based production company on a television show set in the 1920s, is finishing a third collection of travel pieces, a book on the 1920s (The Modern Surface), and is in the early stages of a book on global conflict along the aridity line.
