Adam Ehrlich Sachs is an American author who writes literary fiction that blends history with philosophy and dark humor. Before his novels, he published Inherited Disorders, a collection of short pieces about fathers and sons. His novel-length work began with The Organs of Sense in 2019, followed by Gretel and the Great War in 2024.

Sachs has a distinct style that sets him apart from most contemporary fiction writers. The Organs of Sense is built around an astronomer who claims to have predicted a solar eclipse despite being blind, and the story unfolds through layers of unreliable narration. Gretel and the Great War moves to the era of World War I. Both books are short, dense, and more interested in ideas than in straightforward plotting, which makes them a good fit for readers who enjoy writers like Thomas Bernhard or Laszlo Krasznahorkai.
