This blog has been a huge supporter of Fountain’s novel, giving it a starred review and naming it one of the best Adult Books 4 Teens of 2012.  Just take a look at the list of illustrious novels that have won the award in the past to get a sense of the company Billy Lynn is in: Atonement! Gilead! Motherless Brooklyn! The Counterlife! Song of Solomon!

Congratulations to Ben Fountain!
