Peter Gelfan (SHS' 64)  is a writer, screenwriter, and freelance book editor. He lives in New York City. Found Objects is his debut novel.

Aldo Zoria, a successful commercial photographer, lives with his wife and their lover in a happy household that includes the lover’s two young children. Domestic bliss shatters when an unexpected guest arrives and threatens to turn their world upside down. Found Objects is a novel about the struggle between values and instincts, ideas and reality, whom we strive to become and whom we were born to be.

“In this fluent, engaging novel, Peter Gelfan penetrates a modern family’s domestic arrangement and exposes in keen, artful detail what happens when it comes under threat and begins to unravel. A wise, rueful tale for our times, unerringly told, by a masterful writer.”
—Tony Cohan, bestselling author of Canary, On Mexican Time, and Valparaiso
