Congratulations to Douglas Cole, winner of the 2021 American Fiction Award and CLR contributor, on his forthcoming publication from Unsolicited Press (Sept. 2026), The White Field, a “strange, sharp, morally complicated literary crime novel about a man newly released from prison and the machinery waiting to drag him back in. It is part prison-release story, part industrial fever dream, and part social critique of the American systems that confuse survival with failure.”
