Joseph Roccasalvo's literary novel “The Devil's Interval” explores the complexities of human connection, from romance and betrayal to memory and reconciliation. A native New Yorker with graduate degrees in Philosophy, English Literature, and Theology, Roccasalvo holds a Harvard Ph.D. in Comparative Religion and has authored multiple acclaimed works spanning fiction, memoir, poetry, and performance.
In this novel, readers follow Harry MacPherson, an Episcopal priest and thriller writer, as he is drawn into the lives of Mark Raven, his estranged daughter Céline, and the passionate yet dangerous Lidia Quintavalle. Their interwoven stories of love, secrecy, and redemption collide in Harry's new thriller, “The Case of Dante's Bones,” creating a narrative rich in romance, mystery, and moral tension. Within one compelling narrative, multiple stories intertwine, blending a sweeping romance, a mystery of theft and burial, and a poignant reflection on love remembered and rediscovered.
Roccasalvo, who has taught at Fordham University, Columbia University, and Franklin University in Switzerland, brings intellectual depth and lyrical storytelling to his fiction. Beyond “The Devil's Interval,” his works include novels, novellas, short stories, essays, memoirs, and
poetry collections that showcase his versatility as a writer. His voice blends scholarship with creative artistry, offering readers insight into both the sacred and the profane aspects of human life.
“The Devil's Interval” motivates readers to confront the dissonances in their own lives while savoring a tale that is as suspenseful as it is thought-provoking. An engaging and layered read, this novel is now available for purchase through Amazon and other major online book retailers.
