All about Lulu, Jonathan Evison's first novel, was published to great acclaim in 2008.  Publishers Weekly "called the book "a stunner! ... viciously funny and deeply felt..." and Time Out New York describes the novel glowing with "evocative details and unforgettable scenes... story of sweet complexity, about the people you want to hold on to, and the ones you have to let go."  Evision's second novel West of Here (2011) has generated even greater interest.  Set in a fictional town in Washington State, the story is both authentically Pacific Northwest and yet universal in its themes. The American Bookseller's Association voted West of Here as the No. 1 Best Book for February 2011 and it's author, on the strength of his second novel, has been lauded as "a major new voice in American fiction."  When not busy writing or giving talks, Evison takes care of his pet rabbits in his Bainbridge Island backyard.  For more information on this author please go to http://www.jonathanevison.com .
