ⓘ About David Levein
Levien’s first novel, “Wormwood”, was published in 1999. The novel is somehow a commentary on Hollywood, and is obviously drawn from the author’s firsthand experiences in the film industry. The story centers around Nathan Pitch, a man who works in a movie studio and is plodding his way towards becoming the head story editor. Pitch is swept away into a world of work 24/7, and soon begins to detest even recreational nights, which apparently are part of the job. He loses his idealism, becomes addicted to absinthe, but an encounter with a novel leads his to start disrupting the system. Levien illustrates how the naturally talented Pitch starts to get eaten up by the system of “Wormwood”, which is the name he uses instead of “Hollywood”. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Frank Behr Books series, David Levein has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
