Years ago, MFD's Executive Director Wendy worked at Borders. One of the other booksellers handed her a copy of Second Hand, telling her that she'd love the book. She did, and it became her favorite book to recommend to others at the store and everywhere else. She met the author Michael Zadoorian at an event at her store, and she's been a big fan of Michael ever since. Michael is from Detroit, and he writes with Detroit in his heart and mind.
Because he is awesome, Michael has donated a signed set of his four hardcover novels – THE NARCISSISM OF SMALL DIFFERENCES (Akashic Books), BEAUTIFUL MUSIC (Akashic), THE LEISURE SEEKER (William Morrow), and SECOND HAND (W.W. Norton). A motion picture of THE LEISURE SEEKER starring Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland was released in 2018 by Sony Pictures Classics.
Zadoorian is a recipient of a Kresge Artist Fellowship in the Literary Arts, the Columbia University Anahid Literary Award, the Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award, the GLIBA Great Lakes Great Reads Award, two Michigan Notable Book Awards, and was long-listed for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
His work has appeared in The Literary Review, Beloit Fiction Journal, American Short Fiction, Wisconsin Review, Witness, Great Lakes Review, North American Review, Huffington Post and the anthologies Bob Seger’s House, Looping Detroit, On The Clock, and Detroit Noir. He has worked as a lawn boy, copywriter, journalist, voiceover talent, shipping room clerk, and plant guard for Chrysler. A lifelong resident of the Detroit area, he lives with his wife in a 1936 bungalow filled with cats and objects that used to be in the houses of other people.
We appreciate Michael's kindness and generosity. And we know you will love these books! (Especially Second Hand!)
