Recent reviews for "St. Perpetuus" by "Financial Times" and "Publishers Weekly":
"The multi-layered narrative is full of surprises, and the conclusion provides a modest grace note that beautifully befits the tale." ("Financial Times")
“A chance discovery in the margin notes of an old book opens a young man up to fantastic possibilities in his everyday world in Carlson’s first novel, a freewheeling bibliophilic adventure… Unpredictable and steeped in allusions to classic and contemporary works, this spry exercise in magic realism can be enjoyed as a parable on how our reading transforms our perception of the world.” ("Publishers Weekly")

Hello. My name’s Eric Stener Carlson. I’m a writer from the U.S. currently based in Santiago de Chile.
You may be familiar with my work on torture and “disappearance” in Argentina, and you’ll find links to my books (and short stories) on this site.
Because I travel so much, it’s been a challenge to keep in touch with my readers. Now, via this webpage, you can ask me questions, and I can give you updates about my upcoming work.
The big news is that my first novel was published late last year, and just recently got some positive reviews from "Publishers Weekly" and "Financial Times".
The novel's called "The St. Perpetuus Club of Buenos Aires" (Tartarus Press, UK). (You can check out the section on "St. Perpetuus" to order the book directly from Tartarus.)
The other news I'd like to share is that two short stories of mine were recently published in collections: "Divan Method" in Strange Tales III (Tartarus Press) and "On Consideration of the Muses" in Cinnabar's Gnosis: A Homage to Gustav Meyrink (Ex Occidente Press).
Thanks to all my fans who continually send me words of encouragement, especially feedback on "Saint Perpetuus". Your letters and e-mails really mean a lot to me, and inspire me to continue a new novel project I'm working on.
All the best,
Eric
