Now, in Daniel Fights a Hurricane, Jones crafts a fable grounded in love and loss, marriage and friendship, and the indifferent cruelty of the natural world. Ever since he was a boy, Daniel Suppleton has been deathly afraid of hurricanes, which he fears will arrive suddenly and reduce everyone he knows and loves to trembling skeletons. Battling demons both real and imagined, Daniel retreats to a tepee in the woods. As his ex-wife, Karen, frantically searches for him, the long-awaited hurricane finally hits, and Daniel must find a way to save them both. Beautifully written and deeply imagined, Daniel Fights a Hurricane is an affecting, original novel by a rising literary talent. n Light Boxes was named an NPR Best Book of 2010 n Visit danielfightsahurricane.com n Also available as an e-book Praise for Light Boxes: “ Magical . . . Jones’s spare, alliterative sentences are flawless and sometimes delightful.” —Time Out New York “ The kind of novel that makes you reconsider the word perfect.” —Rivka Galchen shAne Jones is the author of Light Boxes. His poetry and short fiction have appeared in numerous literary journals, including LIT, New York Tyrant, and Fairy Tale Review. He lives in upstate New York.

iSBN 978-0-14-312113-8 $16.00 ($17.00 CAN) Fiction 5 5 /16 x 8 384 pp. Rights: E00 Pub history: Viking hc 978-0-670-02283-0 On sale: 7/31/2012 SuGGeSTeD ORDeR “ Alluring . . . a crafty first novel . . . like the central character of Suskind’s Perfume, Evie is blessed and cursed by the heightened nature of her senses.” —The New York Times Book Review “ Ambitious . . . [Williams] can ventriloquize riotous personalities. . . . like Zadie Smith and Jeffrey Eugenides, [he] sees personal metaphors in political events.” —San Francisco Chronicle A compelling story of family, empire, and memory—“an ambitious and prize-worthy debut” (The Sunday Times, London) The Echo Chamber A Novel Luke Williams Luke Williams’s exquisitely written debut novel is narrated by Evie Steppman, a woman born with an extraordinarily acute sense of hearing. Now, at fifty-four, alone in an attic in Scotland that is filled with objects from her past, and with her powers of hearing starting to fade, she sets out to record the events of her life. From her recollections come an outpouring of stories that transcend history; tales of a twelfth-century mapmaker mingle with memories of Evie’s childhood growing up in Nigeria in the 1950s and her travels across America in the 1960s. Williams’s fascination with history and his talent for evoking multiple voices will bring to mind the work of Salman Rushdie and David Mitchell. n Received excellent reviews in the U.K. and U.S. upon publication n For fans of Gunther Grass, Peter Carey, and Jonathan Safran Foer n Also available as an e-book luke williAMs divides his time between Edinburgh and London. The Echo Chamber is his first novel. Readers Guide available at penguin.com Academic Marketing ClASSiC PeNGuiN AuGuST 89
