Nina Shope writes: “After publishing a book of novellas in 2005, I have finally completed my first full-length novel, titled Asylum. The novel won the Dzanc Fiction Prize and was published in May. Asylum delves into the disturbing and seductive relationship between a young hysteric named Augustine and renowned nineteenth-century French neurologist J.M. Charcot. The seeds for this book were planted at Brown, and the process ended up taking far longer than I ever expected, but I am thrilled with the final product.
