Scribner and
Pocket Books have announced that they will publish Blind
Fall, the upcoming novel from gay author and
Advocate columnist Christopher Rice, in early
2008. The new book deals with an Iraq veteran searching for
redemption following the brutal murder of a comrade he
betrayed. "I couldn't be more thrilled to be
with such a distinguished imprint," said Rice
in a statement, "and I'm also overjoyed to be
recommitting to the team from Pocket Books that made
the mass market paperback of The Snow Garden such a
success. From Greg Isles to Annie Proulx, Scribner has
a fine tradition of nourishing and promoting some of
my favorite writers. I'm honored to join their ranks
and can't think of a better home for my next novel, Blind
Fall." (Advocate.com)
