From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Magariel is an American novelist. He is the author of One of the Boys[1] and Walk the Darkness Down[2].[3] Magariel received his Bachelor's from Columbia University[4] and MFA from Syracuse University [5] where he studied with George Saunders.[6] Originally from Kansas City,[7] he now lives in Cape May[8] with his wife Justine and two children Laurence and Sebastian.

Among his influences as a writer, Magariel lists Ernest Hemingway, Vladimir Nabokov, Denis Johnson, Cormac McCarthy and James Salter.[9]

His debut novel One of the Boys received starred reviews in Kirkus[10] and Publisher's Weekly[11] as well as further positive reviews in The Guardian,[12] The New York Times,[13] and NPR.[14]

Walk the Darkness Down received early praise by Pulitzer Prize winners Hernan Diaz and Annie Proulx.[15] It was reviewed positively in the New York Times[16] and was a 2023 most anticipated book by LitHub.[17] Booklist called the novel "a modern Hemingway."[18]. To research[19] the novel, Magariel spent a few weeks at sea on a commercial fishing boat.

In an interview with Literary Hub[20], Magariel said that "It’s liberating to discover that the real pleasure of writing comes in the act itself, in the obsessive and hesitant labor, in the sustained years-long meditation, in the slow and methodical tinkering toward beauty and meaning, and not in what anyone has to say, least of all me."
