Seth Bornstein has written plays, short stories, and essays.  Swimming to Jerusalem is his first novel. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he attended Parsons School of Design and has had a career in urban economic development with positions in the public, private, and academic sectors. He is an avid though very slow swimmer and has participated in winter swimming competitions around the globe.  A consummate city guy, he prides himself on never needing a GPS in Queens and can usually find a parking space anywhere. He resides in New York City with his wife, Diane Loughran.

For more insight on how Swimming to Jerusalem came to be, take a look at the Backstory.
