Dana Czapnik: The Falconer w/ Kaitlyn Greenidge

Told in vibrant, quicksilver prose, The Falconer is a “wholly original coming-of-age story” (Chloe Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists), providing a snapshot of the city and America through the eyes of the children of the baby boomers grappling with privilege and the fading of radical hopes. New York Times bestselling author Claire Messud calls The Falconer an “exhilarating debut,” adding that “Dana Czapnik’s frank heroine has a voice, and a perspective, you won’t soon forget.”

Dana Czapnik is a 2018 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow in Fiction from The New York Foundation for the Arts. In 2017, she was awarded an Emerging Writers Fellowship from the Center for Fiction. Czapnik earned her MFA at Hunter College where she was recognized with a Hertog Fellowship. She’s spent most of her career on the editorial side of professional sports including stints at ESPN the Magazine, the United States Tennis Association and the Arena Football League. A native New Yorker, she lives in Manhattan with her husband and son.

Kaitlyn Greenidge was born in Boston and received her MFA from Hunter College. Her debut novel, We Love You, Charlie Freeman, was one of the New York Times Critics’ Top 10 Books of 2016. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Elle.com, Buzzfeed, Transition Magazine, Virginia Quarterly Review, The Believer, American Short Fiction, and other places. She is the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, Lower Manhattan Community Council’s Workspace Program, the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference, and a 2017 Whiting Award in Fiction. She is a contributing editor for LENNY Letter and lives in Brooklyn, NY.
