Lawrence, Saul Bellow, Kafka, Milan Kundera and Isaac Bashevis Singer. His novel, Kafka’s Son, published by Dzanc, has been hailed as a “work of genius.”

"In this short e-pistolary novel, a seasoned American author, Giorgio, iscaught between reality and fantasy in pursuing his infatuation with an Italian beauty.... The work is lifted by its wry charm and creepy cleverness." —Kirkus Reviews“Leviant offers a witty meditation on romantic infatuation . . . [Giorgio and Sofia’s] comical correspondence builds to a revealing portrait of hopeless wish fulfillment. An amusing anti–fairy tale.” —Publishers WeeklyPast Praise for Kafka's Son“Kafka’s Son is a realistic fantasy, a captivating maze, a detective novel, a love story, with multiple layers that never ceases to delight.” —Magazine Litteraire (France)“Leviant likes to captivate and dazzle his readers. He is part of a family of writers consisting of Saul Bellow, Bernard Malamud, and Isaac Bashevis Singer—and to them he’s a mischievous cousin.” —Le Monde
