With by Donald Harington
"It might be the best novel I've read this year so far, and the years almost over." It starts as a grit lit story, the disturbing abduction of a young child. It ends up being a survival story with a lot of natural and some supernatural help. It is a fabulous incredible novel. I hope everybody in the world reads it."

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, due out in 2005
"He's a great favorite of mine. He is such an elegant writer and I was intrigued by his writing -- it was so subtle that I'm still processing it. It's a rather horrifying plot about clones who are raised to donate organs. It's heavy duty."
