Beschreibung:

Parts per Million was a finalist for the PEN/Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction.
When John Nelson abandoned his government job to join a scrappy band of activists, he didn’t realize trying to save the world would be so hard. His ideals remain strong, but his optimism is wearing thin. His fellow activists―computer hacker Jen Owens and Vietnam vet Irving Fetzer―still think he’s a square. And their radio show can’t compete with the corporate media.

Parts per Million, Julia Stoops’s socially conscious, fast-paced debut novel, is set in Portland, Oregon, in 2002. As the trio dives into anti-war protests and investigates fraud at an elite university, Nelson falls in love with an unlikely houseguest, Deirdre, a photographer from Ireland―and a recovering addict. Fetzer recognizes her condition but keeps it secret, setting off a page-turning chain of events that threatens to destroy the activists’ friendship even as they’re trying to hold the world together, one radio show at a time.
  • Parts per Million was a finalist for the PEN/Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction, established by Barbara Kingsolver
  • Activist fiction is popular with the media, booksellers, and readers in the wake of Trump’s election
  • Many indie booksellers have featured politically relevant titles on endcaps and tables; Parts per Million is set in 2002 and features anti-war protests and weapons contract fraud at the start of the Iraq war
  • Artist Gabriel Liston will create full-page illustrations for each of the parts of the book, plus a half-page epilogue image. His work has been featured in titles by Akashic, Graywolf, and others, including Justin Hocking’s award-winning memoir The Great Floodgates of the Wonderworld.
  • Julia Stoops’s international background should help increase the range of the title.
  • Stranger-comes-to-town plot turns into a page-turning thriller, offering a quick pace and relationship intrigue layered with the political updates.
  • Portland, Oregon, setting will maximize interest from Northwest booksellers and readers—one of Forest Avenue’s strongest bases
  • American media continues to focus on Portland, in terms of feature stories and cultural updates, which should help increase visibility of a locally-set title
  • Parts per Million is part thriller, part political, featuring three unlikely roommates, so the relationships are central to the story as with any good literary fiction
  • Kickstarter successfully raised more than $5,000 for illustrations
