Jamie Micah

About:

Jamie Micah is a Los Angeles-based writer, musician, and audio producer.

His debut novel The Empathizer is a dystopian satire set in 2063 — a diptych structured around Poe's Masque of the Red Death and Carroll's Alice in Wonderland — that follows a classical liberal narrator and his Jewish partner as they're persecuted, in turn, by an authoritarian left and an authoritarian right. It makes a single argument: that ideological extremism follows the same pattern regardless of direction, and that history's canaries always end up in the same place. The accompanying audio series was written, narrated, and scored by Micah, featuring a completely original, sample-free sonic landscape built for the story. It was written for the politically homeless.

Jamie's screenwriting has earned recognition from HorrorHaus, Lift Off NY, 13Horror, and Short Encounters. His music — released under Textures, Raspberry Cocaine, Till Death, and The Static Shock — has been featured in the LA Times. He has also composed and written the libretto for the rock opera The Three Tribes of Z Street.

Current Project: 

THE EMPATHIZER 

A novel. A limited audio series. A diptych.

Two Americas. Two literary nightmares. One man caught between them — and nowhere left to stand.
