Reason Writer’s Book Declared Notable, Highbrow, and Brilliant

Congratulations to former Reason staffer
Kerry Howley, whose recent book Thrown—in
which a fictional grad student narrates a tale about real
mixed martial arts fighters—was just included on The New York
Times‘s
annual list of the year’s notable books.

Thrown also made it onto New York
magazine’s latest
Approval Matrix, where it appears in the Highbrow/Brilliant
quadrant—the exact opposite, apparently, of SantaCon.

Howley talked with Reason about Thrown

here, and the rest of her Reason archive is here. Her website
is here. The New York
Times‘s full-length review of Thrown is
here.
