I'm going to a signing tomorrow night for Blackout. I have been waiting for this book longer than I been waiting for AWoM. Seriously. It's been over 8 years since Passage (Willis's last novel). There's only one little hitch. The wait's still not over. The book got so big it's been split into two volumes. We get Blackout now, and All Clear in the autumn.
Did I mention Connie Willis shares an editor with George R.R. Martin?
Anyway, if you haven't read Connie Willis, I highly recommend her books. I love them to pieces, most particularly the ones with Mr. Dunworthy and the time-traveling Oxford History Department.
She writes two kinds of books: one that are incredibly funny, and ones that are rip-your-guts-out good. A lot of her books involve puzzles that sort of coalesce and snap into shape at the end. She's an amazing writer, and iirc, has more Hugos and Nebulas than anybody else.
