Brooks Tigner

Brooks Tigner is a career journalist and editor born in Texas but based in Brussels where he has reported on the EU and NATO for the past 30 years. His writing got an early start when, at age nine, he and neighborhood kids produced a (somewhat) weekly newspaper for several summers, flogging it to parents and whatever luckless stranger would pay a nickel for it. It was better than selling lemonade on a blazing hot sidewalk.

Though Pick-up Sticks is his first novel, its deadly serious themes gestated for many years in his imagination, awaiting a convergence of America’s woes – economic, racial and sexual (#MeToo, #HeToo) – for readers to mull its retroactive setting and story. That convergence is now upon us.
