Introducing Nathan Hill
Dulwich Books introduces Nathan Hill, New York Times bestselling author of The Nix.
From the suburban Midwest to New York City to the 1968 riots that rocked Chicago and beyond, The Nix explores—with sharp humor and a fierce tenderness—the resilience of love and home, even in times of radical change.
