tidepools

In his acclaimed memoir 88x50 pianist Adam Tendler came out and came of age during a grassroots fifty-state recital tour. tidepools picks up three years later in New York City as Tendler recently-single new in town and all-but-unknown forges a path both onstage and off. Raw funny heartbreaking and unflinchingly candid this collection captures the complexity of modern life in the artistic trenches told by an astonishing pianist and a brilliant writer (Rick Whitaker author of An Honest Ghost) who rethinks the very nature of memoir (Kevin Brannon Lambda Literary).
