Praise for Until We Fall
โFans of dystopian fiction will be pleased with the terrifying similarity of Zelnikerโs world and oursโlike a fun-house mirror, this novel shows us an image that is both disturbing and recognizable as what our nation would look like if fascism and conservatism prevailed.โ โ Sadie Hoagland, author of Strange Children and American Grief in Four Stages
โAn impactful story of what could be that will shake you to your core, told in a powerful voice.โ โ Nathan Caro Frรฉchette, author of Blood Relations
ย โBoth tender and gripping, Until We Fall is a propulsive tale of revolution and community in the tradition of Octavia E. Butlerโs Parable of the Sower. It serves as a powerful reminder of how quickly freedom can disappearโand how central love is to the work of winning it back.โ โ Johanna Stoberock, author of Pigs and City of Ghosts
