This article reports that Jon Courtenay Grimwood's latest novel is "Stamping Butterflies," published by Gollancz. Born in Malta, he grew up around the world and writes for his living. The British Science Fiction Association awarded his book Felaheen a prize as the best novel of 2003. The idea of matter so dense that even light cannot escape from its surface goes back to the 18th century and the obscure English geologist John Michell. For seven years, Anne and I had survived a marriage like that.
