Robert Eversz
A graduate of the University of California at Santa Cruz and UCLA's MFA Program in Film, Television, and Digital Media, ROBERT EVERSZ pounded the mean streets of Hollywood for a decade before fleeing to Europe to write Gypsy Hearts, an expatriate novel set in Prague and Budapest, and his five novels about Nina Zero and the American Obsession with celebrity culture.
Among other distinctions, his novels have been translated into 15 languages and have appeared on the critical best-of-year lists of The Washington Post, Oslo Aftenposten, Bookpage, the Manchester Guardian, and January Magazine.
At least a part-time resident of Prague since 1992, he helped found the Prague Summer Writer's Workshop, now the Prague Summer Program, and serves on its permanent faculty. He has also lived, at various times, in San Pol de Mar, Spain, Morelia, Mexico, and Silvi Marina, Italy. In 2007, he judged the Association of Writers and Writing Programs' Award Series In the Novel, and is currently Writer in Residence at Western Michigan University.

Robert Eversz recommends
The Paris Understudy (2024)
Aurelie Thiele
"The Paris Understudy gives the reader an electrifying glance behind the curtain of one of the world's most famous opera houses, following the ambitions of two talented and sometimes treacherous sopranos vying for center stage on the cusp of World War Two. The novel hits all the right notes for historical fiction lovers, and passages are written with such skill and passion that they will give the reader goosebumps."
The Stark Beauty of Last Things (2023)
Céline Keating
"The Stark Beauty of Last Things brilliantly explores the symbiotic relationship between nature, the community, and characters driven to exploit or co-exist with each other and the environment. Keating writes about Montauk-the last spit of wild land on Long Island-with great depth of observation and feeling, delivering a cast of characters who spring from the page as vibrant and complex as anyone you might meet in the village itself. In the conflict between land developers and community environmentalists, the novel shows how nature itself-and a little luck-can become the deciding factor. This is a wise and often astonishing debut novel."
