Say You're One of Them -a must-read
I just finished this novel today and adored it. The New York Times wrote a two page article on it that can explain it's strength - and its authors craft- much better than I can.

I highly suggest giving this a read, and on completion visiting your local library or bookstore.

ash somers is on a distinguished road
very interesting, in particular the last paragraph ...

He added: “In church I can say: ‘Repent! Believe! Don’t steal!’ But fiction doesn’t work that way. It can’t be propaganda. When I’m writing, I have a sense that the characters are not aware of the audience. I like the reader to be eavesdropping.”
