Greetings! Spring is here! It’s been great to see Expert<\/em> featured on some wonderful blog posts, Substacks, and book clubs these last few weeks. A brief roundup of recent highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was thrilled to discover that the Goodreads editors <\/a>selected The Expert of Subtle Revisions<\/em> as one of the best science fiction books of the last five years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Expanding out a bit from our monthly\u00a0Editors\u2019 Picks<\/a>\u00a0column, this collection draws from the collective reading enthusiasm of our longtime editorial team. To wit: hand-selected recommendations, sorted by genre, of books published in the past five years. Straightforward. Earnest. Occasionally weird because, well, we\u2019re us.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also discovered Expert<\/em> listed over at thegreatestbooks.org <\/a>among the greatest fiction, historical, metaphysical-visionary science fiction books since 1960! Check out the full list here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fabulous Oldster substack<\/a> included The Expert of Subtle Revisions <\/em>on its first Oldster Bookshelf<\/a>, and the novel was also recommended by staff at the Austin public library<\/a>. I was also very happy to stumble across Ann Hood’s nice response to Expert<\/em> on Ruhlman’s Newsletter<\/a> (along with one of my favorite foods, homemade bagels).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, thanks to the Broadway Bookclub for selecting Expert as the April read! I love the book reveal video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
