About Lindsay Hill
Lindsay is visiting Tsunami on tour for his new novel “Tidal Lock.” "While seeking to unlock the mystery of her father's disappearance years before, a troubled young woman comes to believe that the barren city she inhabits is the underworld. Occupying the liminal spaces between reality, madness, memory and myth, her piercing journey traces an arc from a traumatized past to a doorway out of hell. Told in 265 brief, titled passages, Tidal Lock is a contemporary novel of variations on the Orphic themes of Euridice"--
Lindsay Hill was born in San Francisco and graduated from Bard College in 1975. Since 1974, he has published six books of poetry and his work has appeared in a wide variety of literary journals. Sea of Hooks is his first novel, the product of nearly 20 years of work. His other writing and editorial projects include the production of a series of recordings of innovative writing under the Spoken Engine label, and coediting, with Paul Naylor, of the literary journal Facture. Since leaving a career in banking, he has worked in the nonprofit sector. He lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, the painter Nita Hill.
Lindsay’s novel Sea of Hooks, was winner of the 2014 PEN Center USA Fiction Award, finalist for the Chautauqua Prize, and named one of the top 10 books of the year by Publisher’s Weekly and New York magazine. Kirkus Reviews calls Sea of Hooks “a remarkable and multifaceted novel—philosophical, poignant and puzzling,” while Publisher’s Weekly writes that “nearly every paragraph astonishes, every moment rich with magic and daring.”
