Description: Praise for A Wall Is Also a Road "I love a book that makes me think and feel. A Wall Is Also a Road gave me happy tears and a lot of Very Big Thoughts."--Mary Robinette Kowal, Hugo Award-winning author "A brilliant, wholly original adventure of an alien scholar who stumbles upon a discovery that could upend scientific understanding of life in the universe: us. Only Newitz could deliver such a daring, mind-bending yet tender story of Roman history, anthropology, academia, and ethics. Single-celled eukaryotes have never been so sexy."--Yume Kitasei, author of The Stardust Grail and Saltcrop "All at once a beautiful cluster of navigating the perils and pitfalls of academia and scientific ambition, a sweet romance on finding love amidst the stars and oneself, and a rollicking good ride into space and our own history. The alien (and familiar) will knock you sideways."--CB Lee, bestselling author of Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe "An absolutely magnificent work of cosmic imagination. If you need to know that another universe is possible, A Wall Is Also a Road is the book for you."--Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, bestselling author of The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie "A hilarious, brilliant, and absolutely unique novel that will make you see the universe--and the world around you--in an entirely new light."--Alyssa Cole, New York Times bestselling author of An Extraordinary Union and When No One Is Watching "Very strange and strangely satisfying"-- Kirkus (starred review) "A story about learning to communicate with the utterly alien, how difficult it is to breach the wall of prejudices, and standing up for what's right.... will strike a chord with lovers of Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary and The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler."-- Library Journal (starred review) "A compelling exploration of the ethics of discovery, the change that can come from studying difference, and the potential for even the most incomprehensible-seeming alien life to be on some level just like our own."-- Booklist (starred review) "It's no small feat to make a character that's so nontraditional and physically unusual feel so sympathetic...you'll be delighted."-- BookPage " An imaginative and heartfelt tale of first contact"-- Publishers Weekly
