Author Description I’m a first-generation immigrant. My novel “My Life at First Try” was published by Counterpoint Press. I have published two short story collections with Livingston Press and two anthologies with Ooligan Press. My work has been featured in publications including Catapult and the Mississippi Review. My latest collection received a starred review from Kirkus, and Kirkus also named it one of the best books of 2023, and one anthology had an honorable mention in the 2022 Foreword Indies Award. <br /> <br /> <br />markbudman.com<br /><br /><br />A trailer for his anthology "You have Time for This."<br /><br /><a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBfOw1BPoOQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBfOw1...</a><br />***<br />Mark Budman’s "My Life at First Try," is smart and funny and compelling, and in an era when both the immigrant experience and the resurgent aggression of the once-Soviet Russia are central issues, the novel is timely, as well. This is a splendid debut by an important new American voice.<br /><br />Robert Olen Butler, a Pulitzer Prize winner, the author of "Intercourse" and "Severance"<br />***<br />A review of "My Life at First Try" in Publishers Weekly.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6591184.html?industryid=47159">http://www.publishersweekly.com/artic...</a>
