JOSHUA MOHR is the author of five novels, including “Damascus,” which The New York Times called “Beat-poet cool.” He’s also written “Fight Song” and “Some Things that Meant the World to Me,” one of O Magazine’s Top 10 reads of 2009 and a San Francisco Chronicle best-seller, as well as “Termite Parade,” an Editors’ Choice on The New York Times Best Seller List. His novel “All This Life” was recently published by Counterpoint/Soft Skull.

LA Times on "All This Life"

The Los Angeles Times is super awesome: "The novel is expertly paced and full of action building to a meaningful end. Mohr's brightest moments are his observations of the irresistible lure of online life... Mohr gets it right and it's a satisfying read."

Quotes by Joshua Mohr  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I was convinced that she was about to tell me my card was declined, and assumed Derek wanting to talk later meant he'd soon be telling me our life was declined. Everything, everyone had reached their limits with me.”
Joshua Mohr, Termite Parade

“Don’t rush to spend time by yourself. Don’t hurry to alienation. It’s an inevitable destination. Time will eventually shroud you like velvet curtains, blacking out everything.”
Joshua Mohr, All This Life

“A couple days after that, we were told to take out our phones and delete every contact. People weren't having it. "I need these numbers, they said. The counselor was prepared for our incredulity. Every new crop of addicts must have reacted the same way. He countered our protestations with "Most of those people in your phone don't care about you. Delete everyone and make them earn their way back in. If they're good to you, reprogram their numbers. Otherwise, never talk to them again.”
Joshua Mohr, Sirens

Colin Miller Thanks for the request, Joshua, I'd seen your profile via friends' profiles. I'm going to have to fight that 'other' Batman to death soon though.


Anonymous I want to read your novel sooner (in Indonesian edition) hope our publishers here already make an arrangement for it.
