Recording process is underway for an audio-book edition of The Last Furies, in which I get to read and present my work. Excited for the opportunity to contribute my voice to the novel and narrative, and to offer a more homespun, in-the-raw, imperfectly idiosyncratic and sincerely human rendering (not an AI-generated or “wrinkle-free” sanitized voice) to this edition, which will be released by Lost Telegram Press.
Originally from Brooklyn, NY, novelist, poet, performer, playwright and filmmaker, John Biscello, has lived in the high-desert grunge-wonderland of Taos, New Mexico since 2001.
He is the author of six novels, Broken Land, a Brooklyn Tale, Raking the Dust, Nocturne Variations, No Man’s Brooklyn, The Last Furies, and No One Dreams in Color; a collection of stories, Freeze Tag, two poetry collections, Arclight and Moonglow on Mercy Street; and a fable, The Jackdaw and the Doll, illustrated by Izumi Yokoyama. He also adapted classic fables, which were paired with the vintage illustrations of artist, Paul Bransom, for the collection: Once Upon a Time, Classic Fables Reimagined. His plays have been staged and performed both nationally and internationally.
