"""A tale of obsession within the collective, The Curators is a fearful, splendid debut that is both eerie and elegant in its telling.""--Justin Torres, winner of the National Book Award ""The Curators is astonishingly self-assured, and not only for a debut novel; I can't recall a historical fiction I have enjoyed or admired more in recent years. Just as the novel's protagonist's seek to narrate their own lives on their own terms, so does the novel take historical facts and make them into the best--and truest--kinds of fictions, proving by example just how more ""true"" a novel can be than a piece of journalism or a historical record. Indeed, it made me think of how necessary fiction is in this regard; there are things only fiction can say about the past, and about the present, and I'm thankful to Nye reminding me of this."" --Maryse Meijer, author of The Seventh Mansion"
