I am just blown away by Ali Smith's comments on my novella, Aerth... which has won the Weatherglass Novella Prize. Ali Smith is the judge.Here is what she says (part of the press release).
“What planet are we on? Can we leave? Does it mean we can never go home again if we do? What does a phrase like worlds apart really mean? Deep-forged, witty and resonant, this dimensionally stunning novella deals with dystopia and hope in a way that reveals them as profoundly related. A work of real energy and narrative grip, brilliantly earthy and airy at once, it blasts open a reader’s past/future consciousness and taps into literary antecedents as disparate as Hardy and Atwood. Funny, terrifying, humane, this is a thrilling journey in a story the size of a planet – no, the size of several, all of them altogether strange and uncannily familiar.”Aerth will be published by Weatherglass Books in January 2025. It can be pre-ordered here.
