The finalists for the 2013 PEN/Faulkner Award have been announced and we’re thrilled to see (former) Austinite Amelia Gray make the list for her awesome novel, Threats!
Brian C. reviewed Threats for us a while back, and described its author as such:
“If Joan Didion and Italo Calvino had a baby, and if that baby was best buddies with Slavenka Drakulic and Blake Butler, and if that baby wrote awesome sentences, then that baby would be Amelia Gray. If that baby probably hated forced metaphors about literary brethren, then that baby would be Amelia Gray, too.”
Congratulations to Amelia and to all of the finalists!
