James Wallace Birch is an author, occasional commentator, and full-time over-analyzer from Northern Virginia, just outside the U.S. capital. His writing has been described as smart, elegant, insightful and poetically bittersweet.

James received notoriety for his debut novel, Discontents: The Disappearance of a Young Radical. His long-anticipated follow-up novel, If You Find Emory Walden, is now available.

James enjoys coffee and tacos, though not together. His mind moves to late 90s and early 2000s ska, emo and punk. He's a twentieth century fiction junkie. His favorite novel is Coming Up For Air by George Orwell.
