Testimonials
“A masterclass in raw introspection, pitch-perfect dialogue, and precise observation, From Darkness To Darkness unfolds against the vivid backdrop of contemporary New York City, and navigates the fraught space between the self and those who shape it—especially family—as the narrator probes feelings of longing, deep-seated friction, alienation, and the limits of self-expression.”
―Mayada Ibrahim, Winner of the 2024 PEN Translates Award
“In From Darkness To Darkness, Will Heinrich has written a poignant New York love story set against the relentless push and pull of work and family obligations. While the negotiation to remain oneself must always continue, Darkness speaks to the possibilities that can be found in dissatisfaction, the humor of holding steady in the eye of a familial maelstrom, and the agony and ecstasy of a never-ending search for beauty and truth.”
―Julian Tepper, Cooler Heads
