Mischa Berlinksi is an American author. His first novel, Fieldwork, was released in 2007 (Farrar, Straus & Giroux).
Fieldwork received controversial attention with Stephen King's review ["How to Bury a Book."] While King lauds, at length, the novel's "mystery," "narrative voice full of humor and sadness" and suspense, he issues a scathing attack on its publisher, FSG, for poor marketing choices. King writes: "Why, why, why would a company publish a book this good and then practically demand that people not read it? Why should this book go to waste? Is it because there are people in publishing who believe that readers who liked The Memory Keeper's Daughter are too dumb to enjoy a killer novel like Fieldwork? If so, shame on them for their elitism." [1]
Berlinski is a UC Berkeley graduate, and previously worked as a journalist in Thailand.
