Peter Nathaniel Malae is the author of the new novel, Son of Amity, about which writer Jon Raymond notes: "Written with immense intellect and swagger, Son of Amity imbues the street-level realities of our times - in our cities, towns, prisons, and psyches - with the power of myth." Malae is also the author of novels Our Frail Blood and What We Are, a New York Times Editor's Choice, San Francisco Foundation's Joseph Henry Jackson Award winner and Pacific Northwest Booksellers finalist; the story collection, Teach the Free Man, a New York Public Library's Young Lions Award finalist, Glasgow Prize finalist and Story Prize notable book; and the play, The Question, which was an Oregon Literary Arts Fellowship winner. His prose has appeared in Cimarron Review, Glimmer Train, Missouri Review, North Dakota Quarterly, South Carolina Review, South Dakota Review, Southwest Review, Witness, ZYZZYVA, and other presses. A former John Steinbeck, Arts Council Silicon Valley and MacDowell Colony Fellow, Malae lives in the Pacific Northwest.
