Born in Queens, New York, Todd Dia­mond deliv­ers nar­ra­tives that are unapolo­get­i­cal­ly raw and dark­ly humor­ous — a reflec­tion of the bor­ough that raised him. Whether it’s sor­did tales from his adver­tis­ing career or sto­ries about his family’s Holo­caust expe­ri­ences, he res­onates with those who pre­fer their prose served with a healthy dose of cyn­i­cism and unsweet­ened insight.
