Authors - Adam Mansbach

Adam Mansbach is the author of the new novel "The End of the Jews" (Spiegel & Grau/Doubleday).

Adam is also the author of the critically-acclaimed bestseller "Angry Black White Boy," which the San Francisco Chronicle named one of the best books of 2005, and the Boston Globe praided as "a singularly jittery blend of urban wit and southern Gothic, it's a book of buoyant rhythm and dark material. A novel of ideas above all."

His other books include the novel "Shackling Water," the poetry collection "genius b-boy cynics getting weeded in the garden of delights," and a short-story anthology, "A Fictional History of the United States With Huge Chunks Missing," which he co-edited with T Cooper.

Mansbach is the founding editor of the pioneering '90s hip-hop journal Elementary, and a former artistic consultant to Columbia University's Center for Jazz Studies. His work has appeared in the Boston Globe, the San Francisco Chronicle Magazine, the New York Times, Vibe, JazzTimes, Wax Poetics, San Francisco Bay Guardian, Guilt & Pleasure, Poets & Writers, "Total Chaos: The Art and Aesthetics of Hip Hop" The Best Music Writing (Da Capo, 2004), and elsewhere. He also writes a weekly political column for NewsOne.com.
