Although literary fiction gets the awards, it is
worth considering that popular fiction - otherwise called "genre" or
even "formula" fiction - is equally evocative of a time and place,
and can effectively work its way through an era's most pressing issues.
Hamilton author David Lee's 2015 Young Adult novel The Midnight
Games won the Hamilton Arts Council's Kerry Schooley Award for the
book that "best conveys the spirit of Hamilton." He is also the
author of the novel Commander Zero, and the non-fiction books The
Battle of the Five Spot: Ornette Coleman and the New York Jazz Field, Stopping
Time: Paul Bley and the Transformation of Jazz, and Chainsaws:
A History. He is presently completing a sequel to The Midnight
Games.
