WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
On the fiction side, I'm looking for voice-driven novels that break the mold when it comes to voice, content, form, or all of the above—books that push the boundaries of the marketplace or fill in its existing gaps. On the nonfiction side, I'm looking for narrative nonfiction with a strong point of view and sociological bent—books at the intersections of history, science, technology, arts and entertainment, politics, and current events. Great writing can get me interested in just about any topic. Note: I am not currently looking for memoirs.
