Jim Rutman, Vice President

Jim Rutman represents adult literary fiction and non-fiction. In fiction, he is interested in audacious novels that test the form and prioritize language. His non-fiction interests are wide ranging, from history, journalism, music, film, sports, and biography, to traditional narrative approaches, criticism, and essays. He is often drawn to interdisciplinary and hybrid treatments, authorities seeking to complicate long held assumptions. He represents Sheila Heti, Alissa Nutting, Teddy Wayne, Manohla Dargis, Eleanor Henderson, Rowan Ricardo Phillips, Jay Caspian Kang, Carvell Wallace, and others.
