Stephen Amidon is the author of six novels, including “Human Capital,” “The New City” and “The Primitive,” as well as a story collection, “Subdivision.”
His latest novel, “Security,” was published by FSG in February.
Reviewing “Human Capital” in the Washington Post, Jonathan Yardley wrote that “if there’s anyone writing about (the suburbs) now with the clarity, insight and honesty that he brings to the task, I’m unaware of it.”
The Wall Street Journal hailed “The New City” as “ambitious, thought-provoking…. Amidon deftly portrays human weaknesses and the way they can poison good intentions.”
His essays and criticism have been published by the New York Times, the Washington Post, the New York Observer, the Atlantic, the Nation, Salon and many other newspapers and magazines.
