I'm So Happy I Could Just Barzak!

Matt Cheney (an extremely smart guy) has declared today Barzak Day. This is one of the best ideas I've heard in a long time.

You see, today is the official release of Christopher Barzak's first novel One For Sorrow. The book is winding its way to me through the mysterious vagaries of the Amazon ordering system. I can't wait to read it.

I've read a number of Barzak short stories, and always enjoy them immensely. I was not surprised to learn that my editor, the talented Juliet Ulman, acquired this novel since his style of writing falls right in line with other things she's acquired.

If you haven't read Barzak's fiction, you can find some online here, here, here, here, and here.

And when you're done with those, go pick up the novel. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
