is so often just one human being choosing, in one moment, to do something."

About the Author

Gideon Paull

Gideon Paull writes fiction and nonfiction that take ordinary life seriously — the marriages that strain and hold, the faith that flickers and returns, the person who shows up at exactly the right moment and changes everything.

His debut novel The Held Breath explores what ambition costs the people who live closest to it. The Soul Framework maps the interior architecture of the human soul across the major spiritual traditions. His forthcoming novel Holloway follows a girl who survives the unsurvivable and spends the next thirty years building — walls, then a company, then, slowly, a life.

He lives and writes in California.
