Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea. Auggie’s Revenge (Beating Windward Press) is his second novel. His numerous short stories include “Frade Killed Ellen” (Dutch Kills Press), “Bombing from Above” (Heavy Feather Review), and “A Thanksgiving” (Eclectica Magazine).
I have not read any of the 2023 Booker nominees, and I believe that I had only heard of one of the authors before the list was presented. At the library I checked for physical copies in New Fiction and found one out of the four to five that I looked for; this was when they were soon to close last night.
