A SHELTER OF OTHERS Publication Day

sheltercoverToday A Shelter of Others is published. It’s been a bit of a wait, but I’m excited to see this book out into the world. There’s a nice write up over at Fiddleblack’s blog that discusses “antipastoralism” and how this novel fits that definition. Read it here

The Act of Disappearing by Nathan Gower
"Nathan Gower’s "The Act of Disappearing: A Novel" is a must read.

This isn’t a usual book review, which would tell you something about the plot. What I want to talk about is the lush and original language and some of the ideas found in the language.
