Shortlisted for the Neukom Institute Literary Arts AwardsThere are ten stories here including one readers have waited ten long years for: in new novel-la The Border State Rowe revisits the world of his much-lauded story The Voluntary State . Competitive cyclists twins Michael and Maggie have trained all their lives to race internationally. One thing holds them back: their mother who years before crossed the border ... into Tennessee.Praise for Christopher Rowe:''Rowe''s stories are the kind of thing you want on a cold, winter''s night when the fire starts burning low. Terrific.''-Justina Robson ( Glorious Angels )''As good as he is now, he''ll keep getting better. Read these excellent stories, and see what I mean.''-Jack Womack ( Going, Going, Gone )''Rowe''s work might remind you of that of Andy Duncan. Both exemplify an archetypically Southern viewpoint on life''s mysteries, a worldview that admits marvels in the most common of circumstances and narrates those unreal intrusions in a kind of downhome manner that belies real sophistication.''- Asimov''s ''As smooth and heady as good Kentucky bourbon.''- Locus Christopher Rowe''s stories have been finalists for the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Theodore Sturgeon awards, frequently reprinted, translated into a half-dozen languages, praised by the New York Times Book Review, and long listed in the Best American Short Stories . He holds an MFA from the Bluegrass Writer''s Studio. Rowe and his wife Gwenda Bond co-write the Supernormal Sleuthing Series for children, and reside in a hundred-year-old house in Lexington, Kentucky.
