Kristopher Jansma

My second novel "Why We Came to the City" has been called "a beautiful, sprawling and generous book [..] a heartfelt novel, tender and painful and cathartic all at once.” (Michael Schaub, NPR Books) and a "wonderful, unforgettable novel [...] which leads to profound questions about causes and what comes next.“ (Kit Reed, The Miami Herald).

My previous novel, "The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards" has been called "a breathless work" (Time Out NY), a "wildly recursive fun house of a novel(NPR Books), "F. Scott Fitzgerald meets Wes Anderson" (Village Voice) and a "mind-blowing spiral of a book" (Book Reporter).

I am an Assistant Professor of English/Creative Writing at SUNY New Paltz and a Graduate Instructor at Sarah Lawrence College.
