Flannery O’Connor Award for Fiction winner Peter Selgin’s THE INVENTORS, about his father and the man he calls “the teacher,” their remarkable and secret lives, and how these two charismatic men shaped the author’s life and world, to Rhonda Hughes at Hawthorne Books, in a nice deal, for publication in Fall 2016, by Christopher Rhodes at James Fitzgerald Agency (World).

Thanks to Rhonda Hughes of Hawthorne Books and especially to Christopher Rhodes, my stalwart and extraordinary agent. And to all who helped me in various ways with this book in its many incarnations over the past—well, over quite a few years.
