(I'm now reading books that will publish in 2009, so that will not likely change.) disclaimer: I work for the publisher, but that doesn't matter. Fraction is one of the most original novels I have read in a very long time. I haven't read the others -- in fact, I believe that only The White Tiger and the Sebastian Barry are on sale in the right now. A Fraction of the Whole is my favorite book published in 2008.
