The official The Suicide Collectors website: HERE.
This is very exciting news. Way back in the fall of 2003 I started my MFA in Writing at Hamline University in Saint Paul, Minnesota. In my Core (the first required course), there was this guy. He was funny and just a little off. He was also 10 times more motivated than the rest of us.
He claimed to have already written two or three complete novels and caught the attention of an agent. We all held our breath for him as he told us that one of his novels was being shopped. However, it was rejected.
Now, he has a book deal with St. Martin’s Press and his first book, The Suicide Collectors, now has the all coveted ISBN (0-312-38110-7) and will is forthcoming (I hope this yet year).
He is now working through the galley copy.
I hope to be able to read his book soon. If his novels are anything like the short stories that I read in program, it will be a great read!
If you would like to know more about The Suicide Collectors or David Oppegaard, just follow the links.
