fiction by paolo bacigalupi
I found these in Night Shade’s triple-top-security storage facility.
It’s taken a long time to get to this point. I’m carrying a couple copies around in my bags right now, and I have to keep resisting the urge to take them out and pet them.

"astute social commentary in poignant, revelatory prose." -- Publishers Weekly, Best Books of the Year

Don’t resist the urge, give in to it! Just don’t call them your precious.

Just got my copy last night (sent, for some reason, in the same size box as the one Night Shade sent your umpteen copies in). It looks great! Congratulations — you’re one of them real-live book-writers now!

Ack, they’re gorgeous! You should be petting them – don’t resist the urge.

Was just thinking the other day need more books with cool, orange covers.
