Matthew Daddona's debut novel, The Longitude of Grief, follows Henry Manero and generations of dispirited loners as they navigate inherited trauma in a kaleidoscopic study of the familial bonds that entangle and entrance us all.
Matthew Daddona is the author of the poetry collection House of Sound, which Publishers Weekly called "ruminative...a glimpse into a mind on the search for answers." A multi-hyphenate writer, his work has appeared in dozens of publications, including The New York Times, Newsday, Electric Literature, Whalebone, Tin House, and McSweeney's Internet Tendency. He lives on the North Fork of Long Island, where, in addition to writing, he shucks oysters, installs irrigation systems, and volunteers as a firefighter. The Longitude of Grief is his first novel.
