Me and Mine

J. M. Holmes was born in Denver and raised in Rhode Island. He is the winner of the Burnett Howe Prize for fiction, the Henfield prize for literature, and a Pushcart prize.

“Proceeds with unstoppable energy, cutting through its sprawling narrative with tangy dialogue, wide-ranging cultural and historical references, and stinging social commentary.” —Kirkus“I loved this novel, which looks dead-ass at the world and then expands, with a real tenderness, to hold it all, set a line, and keep moving. Me and Mine shows, in its very heart and with gravity, that the past is real and another world is possible.” —Mairead Case, author of Tiny and See You in the Morning“Class genocide and race war—we're soaking in it. Me and Mine is less a speculative thriller than a realist novel about the day after tomorrow. Detailed, savvy, and perhaps even a set of spoilers for what you'll experience when you wake up." —Nick Mamatas, author of The Second Shooter and Kalivas! Or, Another Tempest“Comparisons to Junot Díaz and Denis Johnson are perhaps inevitable, but I imagine they'll prove short-lived; in a few years we'll be comparing writers to J.M. Holmes.” —Rebecca Makkai, author of The Great Believers“Spare in style, strikingly urgent, J.M. Holmes is a voice to get excited about.” —Irenosen Okojie, author of Curandera
