When the Nines Roll Over by David Benioff

When the Nines Roll Over by David Benioff

A tour de force of imaginative storytelling from the critically acclaimed author of City of Thieves and The 25th Hour and co-creator of the HBO series Game of Thrones

In When the Nines Roll Over, David Benioff (The 25th Hour, City of Thieves) uses humor and rich characterizations to explore the sometimes thrilling, sometimes pathetic emotional lives of a diverse set of characters.  Over the course of eight stories, we are introduced to a host of young people on the cusp of discovery and loss.  As he evokes the various states of agony and pleasure--humiliation, rebellion, camaraderie, and desire--Benioff displays a profound understanding of the transformative power of a single moment and how sadness can be illuminated by a humorous flip side. When the Nines Roll Over confirms the promise of a gifted writer emerging as a storytelling force.

David Benioff is a New York native who grew up in the city. Spike Lee directed his first novel, The 25th Hour, which he adapted into a movie film. He is also the writer of the films Brothers and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, among many other screenplays. Best New American Voices and The Best Nonrequired American Reading both featured stories from his critically praised collection When the Nines Turn Over. City of Thieves is his most recent book. He is a co-creator and writer for HBO's hit series Game of Thrones, and he lives in Los Angeles with his wife and kid.
