Michael Zapata’s debut novel, THE LOST BOOK OF ADANA MOREAU, won the Chicago Review of Books’ 2020 CHIRBy Award for Fiction. He accepted the honor at a virtual ceremony with these words: "In spite of disaster, in spite of the predatory elite, we are here, we are making work and it forms some of the most beautiful communities I've ever participated in.” The book was also named one of NPR's “Best Books of 2020.” Hanover Square Press published the novel on February 4, 2020.
