It's been almost a year now since the media frenzy first ignited over Shane Jones' novel Light Boxes and the author joined the pantheon of Penguin writers. And while some of that hoopla has died down, Jones' is a heartening story for all indie lit writers. And while the Penguin Mini-Cooper will be somewhere in the south (see Penguin's 75th anniversary Follow-the-Car tour), welcome Jones as he arrives on foot.

McNally Jackson says:

Light Boxes is Jones's debut novel, a haunting strange book first published by the small Publishing Genius Press but soon optioned by Spike Jonze for a (hopefully) upcoming film, and then picked up by Penguin and released in this handsome new edition. It's quickly earned Jones a devoted fanbase, and with good reason.
