But I have three small children––they take all my time, and my work computer doesn’t have internet. I may post updates, but if I don’t reply to something, it just means I haven’t seen it. Also, if I log onto social media during the work day, Cal Newport crawls out of a glowing portal in the floor and punches me in the kidney. It’s had a chilling effect on my social media usage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59986ce23e00be6b0e269b15/fa9b97f5-93dd-4c52-b1e7-1ec46e3bc0b0/Crack+Machine-2.jpg Contact - Contact For publicity/book stuff, please reach out to Bianca Flores at Riverhead Books. Her e-mail is: bflores@penguinrandomhouse.com For speaking engagements, reach out to Hayley Shear.

Her email is joy@joyharrisliterary.com. I think she’s amazing. Without her, I’d be bussing tables in downtown Salt Lake. I’m not knocking it––that’s a great job, and I’d probably be climbing harder. But I owe her whatever literary career I have. She’s not accepting unsolicited submissions at this moment, unfortunately. Also, this isn’t what she looks like. I didn’t have a photo of her to use so I put this in as a placeholder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59986ce23e00be6b0e269b15/1503599544130-EUZS60YUE5NOXAY58XSK/Gabriel_Tallent_Desk-102-LR.jpg Contact https://www.gabrieltallent.com/home daily 1.0 2025-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59986ce23e00be6b0e269b15/fb0381b5-9000-401a-b417-d693d74854b1/9780593714188+%281%29.jpg Gabriel Tallent Official Author Website - CRUX (coming 1/20/26) “Crux is tender, immersive, and thrilling, with memorable characters—not just the main ones either—who feel unruly and fully alive." -- Gabrielle Zevin, author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow In this story of intense friendship and grit, two down-and-out teens escape their lives and chase a different future through rock-climbing.

He studied English at Willamette University, with a focus on eighteenth-century cultural history. After graduation, he led trail crews, scrubbed toilets at Target, worked in the dining room at the Alta Lodge, and bussed tables at the Copper Onion. He now lives in Salt Lake City with his wife, Hattie, and their three rambunctious boys. https://www.gabrieltallent.com/events daily 0.75 2025-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59986ce23e00be6b0e269b15/eb9641a5-01f0-4c8b-b6a7-d013b1c3507c/J+Tree+Photos+2019-02-10-1.jpg Events - Touring Dates to come. I have no idea. If you’re hoping to hang out, you can let your bookstore know. The bookstore asks my publisher. Then the people at Riverhead get sloshed on jello shots and spin a roulette wheel. I’m pretty sure that’s how that works. https://www.gabrieltallent.com/other-works daily 0.75 2025-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59986ce23e00be6b0e269b15/1503592671822-PWCGH22GVGCLMBTTSHLU/my-absolute-darling.jpg Other Works - My Absolute Darling An immersive, all-consuming read about one fourteen-year-old girl's heart-stopping fight for her own soul.

The new book has a lot of rocks in it. People often ask me what they look like. Here are some examples. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59986ce23e00be6b0e269b15/8f4cea90-04ef-4c67-ab8e-8a29da55eaba/Landscpe+Background+Photo%E2%80%93%E2%80%93Intersection-1.jpg Show Me Rocks - Intersection Rock The Flake is visible on the left. It goes up the chimney to the left-facing flake. Then it follows the path worn through the patina to the top, between the projecting roof visible far left and the chimney visible at the top-center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59986ce23e00be6b0e269b15/7d8bd8c8-404d-4c13-a1d5-7118e8732036/J+Tree+Photos+2021-11-1o-6.jpg Show Me Rocks - North Astrodome Location of the ultra-classic Figures on a Landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59986ce23e00be6b0e269b15/1453d2c0-7959-4854-a050-94f7706f1989/J+Tree+Photos+2019-02-12-5.jpg Show Me Rocks - View From Taxman I think. I could be wrong. When characters are hanging out on ledges, talking, they’re seeing something like this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59986ce23e00be6b0e269b15/03dda852-014e-4f58-ab16-980f9972f487/J+Tree+Photos+2019-02-12-4.jpg Show Me Rocks - The Wonderland When they talk about the Wonderland, they mean something like this.
