"'Singer Distance' is a novel full of realistic emotion and wondrous possibility, at once about communicating with Martians and about the strange distances that open up between family members,"said Dan Hoyt, professor of English and creative writing."It's a terrific novel for literature fans — but this reading will also appeal to mathematicians, musicians and landscape architects."
