Fiction Collective Two, a publisher of “artistically adventurous, non-traditional fiction,” has announced their 2007 winner of the Ronald Sukenick Innovative Fiction Prize: Margo Berdeshevsky’s Beautiful Soon Enough, an illustrated book of short stories.

Will somebody please review this book? I might have to tackle it myself; my curiosity is piqued by the sheer lack of information on it. See, this is exactly where we come in to save the day, DJRers; we are the superheroes of the under-represented. The way I see it, if the book has captured the austere attention of a group of discriminating peers, earning her a prize, I think more people ought to read it— and huh-hum—write reviews on it.

Check out some of her other work here, and read her poem “communion” which appears as the Poem of the Day on Sharkforum. Check out a list of her upcoming readings here.

Wow, I sound a little bossy. Sorry.
