James Stevens-Arce, Soulsaver (Harcourt 9/00)

"Christian fundamentalism and offbeat satire mix in this spirited first novel set in near-future Puerto Rico, now part of a dystopian U.S. controlled by televangelists.

"An idealistic young believer gets his eyes opened on the job -- saving suicides' souls by freezing their bodies for future resurrection."

Soulsaver has been included in the The San Francisco Chronicle's Notable Science Fiction/Fantasy 2000 list and in Locus Magazine's recommended Best Books/Stories of 2000.

The Denver Rocky Mountain News named it Best First Novel of 2000 in its list of Best of 2000 Fantasy, Science Fiction and Horror, and Locus Magazine also named it one of its Best First Novels of 2000.

Soulsaver has been Reader's Catalog Recommended.

"Established in 1989 by Jason Epstein, editorial director of Random House, and the poet, author, and editor Geoffrey O'Brien, The Reader's Catalog is an annotated selection of some 40,000 of the most interesting and informative books in print today. Carefully selected by a distinguished group of writers, scholars, and critics, it is, in essence, their collective 'Dream Library.'"

A couple of online bookstores asked me to write essays for them, one about how Soulsaver came to be and the other about the post-publication experience.

They're available at "Life Imitating Satire" and "Feedback," respectively.

You'll also find an essay about why I write science fiction at "The Wow Factor."
