Literary Agent Bill Clegg’s first two memoirs, Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man and Ninety Days, detailed his addition to crack cocaine. His debut novel, Did you Ever Have a Family Gallery/Scout Press) was longlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize. The novel is a powerful story about a circle of people who find solace in the least likely of places as they cope with a horrific tragedy. The New York Times Book Review calls the book, “Masterly…The vignettes provide deft reprieves, a mosaic of a community and its connection to the tragedy. And connection—the way people and their lives fuse—is this novel’s main concern.”

NOMINATED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD 2015
