MU Press author nominated for awards
Mitko, Garth Greenwell’s winning entry in the 2010 MU Press novella contest, was a finalist for The Publishing Triangle’s Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction. The judges noted: “Intoxicating and powerful, Garth Greenwell’s Mitko is a journal of detail and desire, a haunting rumination of hope and passion. In this complex novella, Greenwell reminds us that elegant prose and a respect for literary tradition can occasionally lead to something utterly original. Mitko is both dreamy and a dream.”
The Lambda Literary Foundation also named Mitko as a finalist for its 24th annual Lambda Literary Awards, Gay Debut Fiction category. The winner will be announced at a June 4 ceremony in New York City.
