Hey, look, there's an award nominee in my messenger bag!

Apparently the novel I'm reading for my first review as a Bookslut contributor is up for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, the British SF prize. I admit I'm enjoying Coalescent a lot so far. Yes, it has bad cover art (although I have the US cover, not the British), and yes, the book itself is bright yellow once you take the cover off (great for train reading, really), but it's a bizarre and fascinating mix of near-future society and ancient Rome.
