It was my favorite book all through college.
I spent my first 3 semesters at Cornell, and would have graduated the year before Ruff--we knew some of the same people. So yeah, when I read Fool, a couple years after college, it was enormously moving. Bit of a college fantasy.
Best overheard on NPR today: "Dystopia is the new vampire for sure."
So now dystopia comes in Sparkly along with the more traditional Dark?
I checked Dog-Eared Books to see what they had, and, as luck would have it, the only Ruff they had was, indeed,
Set This House in Order.
As if that weren't enough, it appeared to have been originally bought at Elliott Bay Books in Seattle, which is where Matt Ruff lives! Also a bookstore I am fond of because I spent time there with Buffistas and discovered
The Name of This Book Is Secret.
The reading was fun. His new book,
The Mirage,
sounds intriguing.
So now dystopia comes in Sparkly along with the more traditional Dark?
Hee! Burrell, may I please tag this?
Effie Trinket and the Capitol bring the Sparkly to the dystopic yard.
Jilli, have you heard anything--good or bad--about this one?

It's about a human boy hiding amongst vampires in a human-less society, but it's not out until May.
