Now here’s something I’m incredibly stoked to be talking about! I read a lot of J.F. Gonzalez in college. His work was among the most formative in the years leading up to the moment where I decided to take a stab at this whole writing thing. For that alone, my inclusion in this upcoming collection will forever be a career highlight.
The book that turned me into a Gonzalez fan was Survivor, and so it’s only fitting that my entry in this collection is a bit of literary criticism on how that novel so perfectly defines the era in which it was written and also the future that it unfortunately predicated.
There are so many talented folks involved in this one. Good friends, valued peers, and treasured heroes. This is going to be a must have book, and I cannot wait to read it cover-to-cover. You should be able to order this one very soon, but for now I’ll leave you with a glimpse at the cover as well as the table of contents.
