Brooks Tigner
Brooks Tigner is a career journalist and editor born in Texas but based in Brussels where he has reported on the EU and NATO for the past 30 years.
His writing got a truly early start when, at age nine, he and neighborhood kids produced a (somewhat) weekly newspaper for several summers, flogging it to parents and whatever luckless stranger would pay a nickel for it. It was better than selling lemonade on a blazing hot sidewalk.
Though Pick-up Sticks is his first novel, its deadly serious themes gestated for many years in his imagination, awaiting a convergence of America’s woes – economic, racial and sexual (#MeToo, #HeToo) – for readers to more readily ingest this retroactive story set in America's Great Society era.
That convergence is now upon us.
By contrast, his next book will be a social comedy set set among czar-nostalgic White Russians in 1980s New York.
