In the age of social media, news can travel funny routes. So it took a hot minute yesterday to process a tweet from my friend Laura (@RevEverett) with the news that Damn Love won an honorable mention 2014 PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Fiction. It’s a total honor to receive this recognition and I’m sending big congratulations to winner NoViolet Bulawayo and other finalists and honorable mention awardees.
A few weeks back, came the news that Damn Love is a also a 2014 finalist in the Lambda Literary Award General Fiction category.
