Shya Scanlon is the author of the novels Border Run and Forecast, and the poetry collection In This Alone Impulse. An editor at The Nervous Breakdown and co-founder of Monkey Bicycle, he won the John Hawkes Prize in Fiction at Brown University, where he received his MFA. He lives in New York.
Just when I thought I'd had my fill of dystopian novels, along
comes the The Guild of Saint Cooper; a playful, imaginative, and
wildly unpredictable ride through alternate Seattle. Scanlon
delights in turning history on its ear in this daring and
thoughtful high wire act of a novel. --Jonathan Evison, author of
West of Here and The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving Praise for
Border Run:
Like a Philip K. Dick of the American Southwest, or a futuristic
Cormac McCarthy. --Ben Loory, author of Stories for Nightttime and
Some for the Day Strikes a flawless balance between satire and
heart, adventure adn meditation. --Laura Van Den Berg, author The
Isle of Youth Praise for Forecast:
Shya Scanlon's brilliant first novel inhabits the skin of science
fiction while setting off fireworks more extravagantly imagined and
coolly displayed than those ever fired into the night air by any
conventional SF novel. --Peter Straub, author of Lost Boy, Lost
Girl and Black House Tipping its hat to authors like Stacey Levine,
China Miéville and Jonathan Lethem, Scanlon's novel is part Science
Fiction, part noir, part road narrative and part love story.
--Brian Evenson, author of Altmann's Tongue and The Wavering Knife
Praise for In This Alone Impulse:
If Gertrude Stein ran track for Mineola Prep, she'd text these
alert, convivial poems from the team bus. --Joyelle McSweeney,
author of The Red Bird and Nylund: The Sarcographer
