New excerpt from TROPIC OF KANSAS at Tor.com (plus a review at Boing Boing)
There’s a new excerpt from the opening of my forthcoming novel TROPIC OF KANSAS up at Tor.com, in which a young fugitive is deported back to a U.S.A. that has been walled off—from the other side. Over at Boing Boing, sharing the excerpt, Cory Doctorow provided a preview of his amazing and generous review, saying “Brown’s novel is just what you’d hope for from a long-awaited debut like this: a book that excites, provokes and terrifies.”
Boing Boing: “An excerpt from Tropic of Kansas, a novel about a Trumpian, dystopian America”
TROPIC OF KANSAS—the unboxing
Cross-posting this video of my editor David Pomerico unboxing the ARCs to TROPIC OF KANSAS. Just got my first copies and they look amazing. The design team did an incredible job of conveying the aesthetic of the text in the cover and interiors.
Cover by Owen Corrigan. Analog broadcast flag, signal and noise.
Interiors by Renata de Oliveira. I especially love this image of Old Glory as street art chipping away.
Forthcoming July 11, 2017. Preorder details here. Now available for preorder at HarperCollins, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.
