\"\"Nathaniel Popkin<\/a> is the author of five books, including the new novel Everything is Borrowed<\/em> (New Door Books), called “utterly absorbing” by the writer Robin Black, and the co-editor of Who Will Speak for America?<\/em>, a literary anthology in response to the American political crisis, forthcoming in June 2018 (Temple University Press). He is the fiction review editor of Cleaver Magazine<\/em>, as well as a prolific book critic—and National Book Critics Circle member—focusing on literary fiction and works in translation. His work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal<\/em>, Public Books<\/em>, The Rumpus<\/em>, Tablet Magazine<\/em>, LitHub<\/em>, The Millions<\/em>, and the Kenyon Review<\/em>, among other publications.<\/p>\n

As a keen observer of cities and lived places, Popkin has often turned his eye to the layers of history and life in his own city. He’s the founding co-editor of the Hidden City Daily<\/em>, a web magazine that covers architecture, design, planning, and preservation in Philadelphia, and the co-author of the 2017 work of non-fiction, Philadelphia: Finding the Hidden City<\/em> (Temple University Press). He’s also the senior writer and story editor of the multi-part documentary film series “Philadelphia: The Great Experiment,” for which his work has been recognized with several Emmy awards. He was the guest architecture critic of the Philadelphia Inquirer<\/em> from 2011-12.<\/p>\n

Popkin’s first novel, Lion and Leopard<\/em> (The Head and The Hand Press), is a mediation on originality and influence in art. It reimagines the life and tragic death of the first great American genre painter, John Lewis Krimmel. Lion and Leopard<\/em> was a finalist for the Foreword Reviews Indie Book of the Year Award, and novelist Ken Kalfus described it as “historical literary fiction at its most engaging.”<\/p>\n

Lion and Leopard<\/em> followed two books of literary non-fiction, the 2002 Song of the City<\/em>(Four Walls Eight Windows\/Basic Books) and the 2008 essay collection, The Possible City<\/em> (Camino Books).<\/p>\n

Popkin has been a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts fellow and a writer-in-residence at Philadelphia University and the Athenaeum of Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
