I was delighted to see Elizabeth Clark-Stern's review of my novel Can't Find My Way Home as part of her Pleasures of Reading, Viewing, and Listening in 2023 on the Aqueduct blog: "I adored Gwynne Garfinkle's Can't Find My Way Home. Her prose flows like a mountain stream, the characters so alive you expect to see them standing next to you at the grocery store. The original voice of the actress-heroine sparkles, 'I felt my life fragment and reshape itself.' I love the sense of drama, the delight in entering Jo’s mind. I have a theater background myself, and lived through the Viet Nam war era. Garfinkle captured the madness and fury of the time flawlessly. A novel that elevates the spirit with meaning and magic." The novel came out in January 2022, and it's so nice to know that people are still reading it and enjoying it.

The 2023 Otherwise Award is still open to recommendations until December 31, for "a work of science fiction or fantasy that explores or expands our notions of gender." Works published in 2022 that weren't considered for the 2022 award can also be recommended.
