This week brought great news: Flux, a Minnesota-based publisher, will reissue John Donovan’s I’ll Get There. It Better Be Worth the Trip. in fall of 2010! Publishers Weekly broke the story, which you can read here. I’ll Get There is considered to be the first YA novel to deal with homosexuality.  It was originally ushered into print in 1969 by legendary editor Ursula Nordstrom. The new edition will include a few introductory essays as well. My essay on I’ll Get There is about to be published in Tin House. I’ll post a link or a teaser soon. Anyway, cheers to Flux for rediscovering this wonderful and essential novel.
