Peter von Ziegesar

Peter von Ziegesar is an award-winning writer and filmmaker who lives with his family in Brooklyn, NY. His first book, "The Looking Glass Brother: A Memoir," published in June, 2013, by St. Martin's Press, has received general critical praise:

"Drugs, lavish estates, suicide, divorce, philandering, and the backdrop of NYC round out a touching inside view of comfort and homelessness." - Publisher's Weekly (starred review).

"[A] piercing, thought-provoking portrait of a many-branched American family." - Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review).

"Vivid, frequently elegiac. It's as if characters wandered out of an Auchincloss novel to encounter Kerouac's bunch." - Kirkus Reviews.

"The most vivid of its kind I've read since 'This Boy's Life.'" - Eli Gottlieb, author of 'The Boy Who Went Away.'

The Looking Glass Brother will come out as a Picador Paperback in 2014. Please check out: www.thelookingglassbrother.com
