NEWS FOR THE NOT YET

NOMINATED FOR PHILIP K. DICK AWARD:  The NOT YET  is one of seven on the ballot for  Best Paperback Original Science Fiction Novel of the Year–

TOP FIVE FICTION TITLES OF 2012: TIMES PICAYUNE/NOLA.COM (New Orleans)

2012 BEST UNDERDOG LITERATURE: GOODREADS

BEST BOOKS OF 2012: SANS SERIF (San Francisco)

 To classify this novel in any way would detract from its ability to resonate on many levels, as myth, as high literature, as science fiction, as fantasy, with the hints of a graphic novel in the rich imagery and finely honed writing. Malcolm’s odyssey, like a good gumbo, cannot be described but begs to be tasted. I have not read a more compelling novel in a very long time.— Jim Grimsley, Author of Dream Boy, My Drowning, Kirith Kirin, The Ordinary. Winner of the Sue Kaufman Prize for Literature and the Lambda Literary Award

From Publishers Weekly:  

Robert Penn Warren Award-winner Crone (A Period of Confinement) makes her impressive genre debut, mixing standard dystopian tropes with social commentary and a strong literary voice. …..

From the American Book Review:

… Crone makes a case for New Orleans Literature as a body of work, spanning several genres but containing a set of conventions, themes, and tropes that set it apart from broader categories like “American” or “Southern.”…..—C. W. Cannon
