✦ Synopsis


Set in post-WWII Africa, Polynesia, and Hollywood, the three novellas that make up Based on a True Story reveal the roots of contemporary life in a world at war with itself. These novellas are reminiscent of work by Steve Stern and Philip Roth.

Hesh Kestin is a recovering foreign correspondent who reported on local wars, global business, and exotic mayhem in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for publications such as Forbes , Newsday , and The Jerusalem Post , and US magazines as diverse as Playboy and Inc. Cited by Media Guide for best foreign correspondence, his work has won many awards.
