Fat Man and Little Boy
by Mike Meginnis
Giveaway ends August 31, 2014.
See the giveaway details at Goodreads.
To get what’s hopefully yours, enter the Goodreads giveaway above between now and August 31. If you’re lucky enough, you’ll receive Meginnis’s debut novel, which imagines the atomic bombs dropped on Japan during World War II as human beings: Fat Man and his older brother Little Boy. If you want a better taste, read the novel’s first two chapters and check out its praise from a few fellow authors:
“Beguiling, strange and strangely lovely, Fat Man and Little Boy is a deeply sorrowful yet mysteriously empowering debut.”
“In Fat Man and Little Boy, Mike Meginnis takes the mother of all atrocities and makes it strange, sizable, turns it so sideways that we’re forced to notice, to take heed.”
“Mike Meginnis is my favorite kind of writer — extraordinarily inventive, formally curious, profoundly moving — and his Fat Man and Little Boy is a debut of impressive ambition, a reinvention of the historical novel, an existential thriller powered by the booming engines of history, the atom, the human heart.”
Remember: You have until August 31 to enter. Good luck and godspeed!
