24. RON POWERS
father of Kevin Powers (IAA 2002)
* Washington Post Notable Book of the Year * People Magazine
Best Book of the Year * Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year
“Extraordinary and courageous . . . No doubt if everyone
were to read this book, the world would change.”—New York
Times Book Review
In an interview with Terry Gross:
GROSS: Were there any clues before that [schizophrenia]?
POWERS: Not that we recognized. In retrospect and after a
lot of reading on the subject, we realized that the symptoms
of schizophrenia are often linked to creative talent, that the
- that psychiatrists have noticed that the same impulses that
enable creativity, which was crossing categorical
boundaries and looking for new - new solutions and new
concepts, are the same tendencies that feed schizophrenia.

25. JULIE BUNTIN
(IAA 03-05;
IAC St 05)
"Sensitive and smart and arrestingly
beautiful, debut novelist Buntin's tale
of the friendship between two girls in
the woods of Northern Michigan makes
coming-of-age stories feel both urgent
and new. . . .Buntin creates a world so
subtle and nuanced and alive that it
imprints like a memory. Devastating;
as unforgettable as it is gorgeous.”

CAVALLARO
(IAA 02-04;
IAC Fac 18)
“Beautiful prose, thrilling action, a touch of romance,
and two complicated heroes to root for make this a
not-to-be-missed sequel. Readers will be craving the
final book in the Trilogy.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“Cavallaro’s crackling dialogue, well-drawn
characters, and complicated relationships make this
feel like a seamless and sharp renewal of Doyle’s series.
An explosive mystery featuring a dynamic duo.”

28. DAVID ALLEN
(IAC St 11-12;
IAA Fac 10-18)
“This is a great story about a year in the life of a
New England boarding school teacher. For those
who have worked in, or attended, a secondary
independent boarding school, you will appreciate
how realistic DavidAllen's book is. He weaves in
fictitious and actual institutions in his story, and
uses his own experiences as a teacher in such schools
to create an interesting and compelling plot. Check
it out!”

29. New Print Journal:
Dark Mountain
“So we find ourselves, our ways of telling unbalanced, trapped inside a
runaway narrative, headed for the worst kind of encounter with
reality. In such a moment, writers, artists, poets and storytellers of all
kinds have a critical role to play. Creativity remains the most
uncontrollable of human forces: without it, the project of civilisation
is inconceivable…”
- From Uncivilisation: the Dark Mountain Manifesto
