Author detail

10 featured books

August Franza is a remarkably prolific writer -- a novelist, poet, playwright and essayist. He lives on the south shore of Long Island with his beloved Amy. [Gus][1] is the author of *The Murder of Hitler* as well as over 50 novels, plays, and books of poetry. His literary archives are held by the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he took his Ph.D. in 1981. "As an American Novelist I have written 20 novels, nine of which are in print along with a book of short stories. They address a variety of themes, a key one being: What is it that people seek? I can answer that question looking over what I have written. Essentially, we seek freedom, escape, a chance to start over, a chance to remake ourselves. We may be stuck, we may feel trapped and want to break out in new directions. Sometimes we wish to overcome shattered expectations. These are some of the directions and themes of my nine novels. The territory they cover is the experience of people in distress. How these striving, imperiled characters work things out, successfully or not, is for each reader to experience and discover."
