Nice to see Susan Choi getting love -- her work has been both great and slightly eccentric in the way she takes on themes and characters always slightly askew from what your genre (including literary fiction) would have you expect. I just want to add that her second novel, American Woman, is excellent and deserves mention. I say that partly because I once wrote about it and Neil Gordon (RIP)'s The Company You Keep for The Believer, and partly because I wrote about them because they were excellent, genre-like thriller-like novels of ideas political ethics.
