Donna Seaman writes: "Prose is dazzling in her sixteenth book of spiky fiction, a fast-flowing, bittersweet, brilliantly satirical immigrant story that subtly embodies the cultural complexity and political horrors of the Balkans and Bush-Cheney America."  Check out their starred review, which is featured today on their landing page.

In search of adventure, twenty-nine-year-old Conor Grennan traded his day job for a year-long trip around the globe, a journey that began with a three-month stint volunteering at the Little Princes Children’s Home, an orphanage in war-torn Nepal.  Hopefully you got the chance to meet Conor Grennan at ALA Midwinter, where he signed copies of Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal, and discussed the series of events that lead him to found Next Generation Nepal.  For that story, in his own words, check out his column on the Huffington Post

Reuters also ran a fantastic piece on Conor's work, with the best headline I've seen in a while: U.S. author's pickup line becomes crusade in Nepal. Still curious? Got a question for Conor? Log on to CNN and ask away.  And no, unfortunately, he's not still single…
