About the author
Allen Levi is an American writer from Alabama who studied at the University of Georgia and worked as a lawyer and judge. His books sit alongside a long career as a singer-songwriter and performer.
Theo of Golden began as a quietly published novel before word of mouth brought it to a wider audience and a major publishing edition. Its portraits, letters, and acts of attention reflect Levi's interest in community, generosity, and the moral weight of ordinary encounters.
Where to start
