I am looking for a publisher of my 100,000 + word novel ‘Lieberman.’
The plot of the novel concerns the assistant to a literary critic who suffers from the dominance of the critic. After the latter’s death, the assistant believes that he has been freed, finally, from the critic’s influence. However, when the critic’s widow asks him to complete an unfinished novel written by her late husband, the assistant finds himself still under the influence of the critic, as well as his wife.
To date the following chapters of the novel, or portions thereof, have been published:
Chapter 1 in Midstream (print)
Chapter 2 in Cyclamens and Swords (online)
Chapter 6 in Paper Skin Glass Bones (online)
Chapter 7 in Sylvan Echo (online)
Chapter 8 in European Judaism (print)
Chapter 14 in Polyphony Magazine (online)
Chapter 15 in Danse Macabre (online)
Chapter 17 in Indigo rising Magazine (online and print)
The best recommendation for the novel as a whole is what European Judaism said of Chapter 8. “It is a pure delight to be able to include a chapter of a yet unpublished novel of Larry Lefkowitz called ‘Lieberman.’” Also, praise (if somewhat overstated, perhaps) from Paper Skin Glass Bones: “Your writing is classic, speaking of a legacy of style that one does not often find in our time.”
Although set in Israel, the novel is suitable for an international audience because of the universality of its plot, its feast of literary references, its sharp and witty dialogue, and its humor.
Possible jacket blurb: “If you like literature, you’ll love this book.”
Why not let me send email the first five chapters as examples.
