The hardworking Nathan Ashman (University of East Anglia) nabbed the Edgar in the Best Critical/Biographical category for his book James Sallis: A Companion to the Mystery Fiction (I edit the McFarland Companions to Mystery Fiction). The many works of the multitalented Sallis (an author and poet active in both mystery and sci-fi) include his novel Drive (filmed with Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan), his Lew Griffin series, and his biography of African American mystery author Chester Himes.
The Sallis companion is currently on sale at McFarland.
