AWP21—Michael Zapata
Manage episode 303961792 series 2090480
We talked to Michael Zapata about his novel The Lost Book of Adana Moreau. It was the winner of the Chicago Review of Books Award for Fiction, an NPR Best Book of the Year, a Most Anticipated Book of 2020 from The Boston Globe and The Millions, and his debut novel. Zapata is a founding editor of MAKE Literary Magazine as well as on the core faculty of StoryStudio Chicago and the MFA faculty of Northwestern University.
This book is a wholly satisfying romp through the history of science fiction (even for the uninitiated!) with a healthy side-portion of theoretical physics. But please don’t be intimidated. Zapata’s prose is whimsical and yet gloriously skillful, encouraging us to “challenge our most potent ideologies.” Isn’t that what good art is supposed to do?
Honorable Mentions:
The Yellow House by Sarah Broom
We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
Chilean author Roberto Bolaño
Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai
