David László Conhaim Author

David László Conhaim is passionate about discovering stories and people somehow lost to history – and to inspire or renew public interest in them. His socially conscious, exhaustively researched novels in recent years have focused on the multiracial struggle for the American West, emphasising issues of family, identity and belonging. Conhaim’s Paul Robeson-inspired Western All Man’s Land (Broken Arrow Press, 2019) was selected Finalist Best Novel in the Western Writers of America Spur Awards and won ‘Maverick’ in the Will Rogers Medallion Awards. His 2021 novel The Unredeemed – a sequel to 2017’s Comanche Captive – was a Best Novel winner in the Will Rogers Medallion Awards and a Best Novel finalist in the Western Fictioneers’ Peacemaker Awards. In 1995, Conhaim co-founded The Prague Revue, the longest-running literary journal to serve the community of international writers in Prague. For The Prague Revue, he wrote a fictional remembrance of Miguel de Unamuno, which Gore Vidal ‘read with delight’, republishing it in the 2024 All Man’s Land expanded second edition as Don Miguel – The Wise. Conhaim was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1968.
