The Permanent Press is committed to publishing works of social and literary merit and has, over the years, gained a reputation as one of the finest independent presses in America. Anthony Schneider is the author of LOWDOWN, published by Permanent Press. Publication Date: December, 2018. “A novel to fall in love with. A love story with a rugged sense of humor and a tender criminal at its heart. It’s also a story of forgiveness, and the novel’s final pages will leave you a little bit breathless, a little bit trying not to cry.” — Hannah Pittard, author of Visible Empire “A brass knuckle knockout of a gangster novel. If you like crime stories to ring true, with characters you can care about even if their moral compasses got shattered somewhere along the way, you’ll want to read Lowdown. And, also it’s a love story.” — Ed Falco, author of The Family Corleone • • • • • Anthony’s first novel, REPERCUSSIONS (Permanent Press, Penguin SA), was hailed by critics around the world and won an Indies Book of the Year Award. "Schneider spans continents, decades, and generations… with vivid immediacy. The diverse cast of characters is deftly drawn… The novel is finely plotted and lucidly written, with touches of sensuality and lyricism and a keen attention to emotional truth." – Kirkus Reviews "A depth, a synthesis of human contentions, intellect, emotions, self-searching, fully realised… A work of the meaning of exile. I hope this daring novel will be widely read!" – Nadine Gordimer, Nobel Prize Winning Author • • • • • Anthony has been published in McSweeneys, Conjunctions, Bold Type, Details, US News & World Report, as well as fiction anthologies and other magazines. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the NYU Creative Writing Program, Anthony was awarded a MacDowell Fellowship and was a Pushcart Prize finalist.
