The Real Thing

by Nina Diamond

Q. How long has it been since you read a story of passion, love, struggle, and truth that stood alone as an absorbing Tale, but also entwined itself into your own days – relevant and moving? How long since you felt inspired by honest heroism?

A. I thought so. With muscle and delicacy, Mark Chmiel has written the Real Thing. Hurry up and read it. When this story shadows you, too, you’ll be grateful for the company.

– Nina is working on a screenplay based on The Book of Mev.
