@radiomitre El último Dickens del escritor Matthew Pearl es buen libro para los fans del escritor; entre realidad y ficción, narra las aventuras de Dickens en su gira por USA con trama de intriga que gira sobre un cuento que nunca terminó.

So appreciative of this review @faye_lilley of #TheAward! Really captures how I hope readers are experiencing the novel. https://t.co/VV4rDBpH8h

Stepping out of the island’s only gas station, Benke noticed a flyer hanging on the wall, and did a double take. Across the top of the page in large bold type, the flyer read “MISSING” along with a pixelated photo of a small, stark-white cat named Vail.
This was not unusual. House cats get out, get lost, and usually don’t get found. Benke’s confusion over this particular flyer stemmed from what was printed just below the photo of the 5-pound Doll Face Persian: “$10,000 REWARD for Vail’s safe return home.” https://t.co/RdMuJ48ASA

The Award is a timely, razor-sharp, and unputdownable novel about writing groups, publishing, ambition, human foibles, and the dangerous things we will do to get ahead. #AdultFiction #MatthewPearl #LibrariesAreAwesome

"The Award" by @MatthewPearl "takes a dim view of its characters’ ambitions. Every bad and selfish choice made by the protagonist just adds to the pleasure of it," says @vulture. A Crime Time interview on A Mighty Blaze with host @HankPRyan. 4 PM ET TODAY

@MatthewPearl returns with THE AWARD, a propulsive novel about a young writer trying to make his way through a cutthroat literary scene that turns deadly.
