An American Decade

Accent Press
2017
'A fine novel about an emigre German singer at large in the America of the 1930s, in which Richard Aronowitz displays his characteristic ability to mingle
the slow unravelling of ordinary lives with the ebb and flow of world events. I greatly admired it.'

D. J. Taylor, British critic, biographer, novelist. Winner of Whitbread Biography Award 2013, Longlisted for Man Booker Prize 2011

It's Just The Beating Of My Heart

Flambard Press
2010
'This is a quiet novel which progresses at a pace as gentle as a wide brook but with the attached depth of still waters. The narrowing of Stack's existence is handled with both structural clarity and psychological truth, while a potentially annoying narrator who becomes a slave to self-destructive patterns never loses the reader's sympathy.'

Five Amber Beads

Flambard Press
2006
Aronowitz knows the art world milieu particularly well having worked as an Impressionist and Modern art researcher at Sotheby's.
Aronowitz uses the same skills to trace the secret provenance of his characters and in doing so infuses them with a greater understanding and a context for their existence.

Accent Press has signed my new novel »An American Decade«

11-27-2016

Accent Press has signed »An American Decade«, my new novel. The publisher acquired world English rights to the title from Sharon Galant at Zeitgeist Literary Agency. »An American Decade« tells the "little known" story of pre-war German immigrants in New York.

 

Rebecca Lloyd, editorial manager at Accent Press, said: "Richard writes beautiful, crafted prose. This novel, though set in the 1930s, tells a story of immigration and identity, guilt and redemption, through the voice of one man grappling with a moral dilemma. It is both timeless and incredibly relevant to our current world."

 

Sharon Galant, co-founding director Zeitgeist Literary Agency, said: "Early into the read, I knew An American Decade had all the ingredients of a page-turner: an epic story spanning a decade and two continents, a family secret swept under the carpet that could destroy a man’s life and brilliant storytelling. The emotional and moral entanglements are cleverly balanced by strong themes. I also loved the atmosphere and sense of place that Richard has achieved. Reading An American Decade is like walking down Broadway in 1930s New York."

 

An American Decade will be published in April 2017.
