.@nowtoronto includes TBA 2019 finalist Reproduction on its list of best books of 2019. Says NOW, "What makes it all work is Williams’s exquisite writing and his willingness to take risk with form. This is a fresh and exciting literary voice." Congratulations @ianwillwrite!

We love ALL these 2019 #gillerprize nominated books but we have a special affection for Ian Williams who read so well for us during our 2019 Toronto Book Awards events. Good luck Reproduction! @ianwillwrite
