Buy Ritt Deitz’s debut novel, Settle Down

PRAISE FOR SETTLE DOWN
With style, wit, and wisdom, and sly touch of the surreal, Ritt Deitz explores the mystery of home.
– John Galligan, author of The Nail Knot and Bad Axe County.
Ritt Deitz’s debut novel is a thoroughly enjoyable romp–which will come as no surprise to anyone acquainted with his considerable gifts as a songwriter and storyteller. Settle Down is thoughtful, funny, imaginative and a pure pleasure to read.
– John Robinson, longtime Madisonian and raconteur
Ritt Deitz has written a novel about how a place shapes a person’s identity, their values, their politics, their language and even what they eat. His young characters are searching for a place to establish roots, aware that that first choice is like an opening paragraph that will give direction to the story of their lives.
-Dave Cieslewicz, former mayor of Madison, WI
A playful, sensitive novel.
-François Leblanc, author of Coyotes et alligators
