Joshua Aaron Cohen was born in New Jersey in 1980. He is the author of a collection of stories, The Quorum (2005); a book on the Hebrew alphabet, Aleph-Bet: An Alphabet for the Perplexed (illustrated by Michael Hafftka, 2007); and two novels, the "cult classic" (Library Journal) Cadenza for the Schneidermann Violin Concerto (2007), and A Heaven of Others (2008). A literary critic for The Forward, Cohen lives in Brooklyn, NY. His website is www.joshuacohen.org He reads from his novel:

A Heaven of Others

"A breathless flight of controlled delirium, an exquisitely blasphemous tour of an afterlife where earth's dominion, in all its terror and glory, trumps the miraculous and overturns the world to come... It's a brave book that should earn its young author the reader's profound and enduring admiration."

- Steve Stern, author of The Angel of Forgetfulness
