Mark Salzman’s career as a novelist and memoirist, classically trained cellist, actor, and martial artist have earned him innumerable accolades and awards over the course of his life. “If there were a prize for most winning writer, Salzman would cop it,” wrote The New York Times. His first book, the bestselling memoir Iron & Silk, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and made into a film of the same name, starring Salzman as himself.
In his new memoir, The Man in the Empty Boat, Salzman confronts a year of catastrophe in which he suffers from debilitating panic attacks, a crippling case of writer’s block, and the sudden, tragic loss of his sister.
