Adam White grew up in Damariscotta, Maine, and now lives in New Hampshire, where he teaches English and coaches lacrosse. He holds an MFA from Columbia University. The Midcoast is his first novel.

Now in Paperback!

Good news! The Midcoast is now out in paperback, which means the "perfect summer read about a perfect vacation haven" (thank you, Angie Kim) just got EVEN MORE PERFECT (smaller, cheaper, softer, AND with a Q and A featuring David Benioff).

You can go here to find plenty of ways to order it, or just head to your local bookstore.

Quotes by Adam White  (?)

“And I think—or hope—that all that matters, returning to that impulse I’ve been trying to identify—the desire to be somehow near-er a tragedy—is what I feel when I’ve achieved some distance from the episode, and the way I feel then is relieved. I’m happy I have what I have. I’m happy I haven’t lost any of it along the way. I could have risked more—and perhaps lived to tell about it and therefore had more to tell—but with all apologies to my younger self, I can’t think of a single instance from my past that I wish had gone another way.”
Adam White, The Midcoast

“Ed had done well in a way that I never would have expected him to. His imagination had surpassed my own.”
Adam White, The Midcoast

“Maeve and I were struggling to figure out how to leave the student life behind and become adults—and maybe we were a little delayed in that respect, or just cautious in the way most of our peers have been slow to embrace the big institutions of marriage and parenthood—while Ed and Steph were busy hustling their daughter to elementary school, their son to middle school, neither parent more than a step or two ahead of their children on the same developmental curve. I can’t imagine. It’d be like trying to write a guidebook to a city you’ve only just arrived at for the very first time.”
Adam White, The Midcoast
