Praise for The Sea Lanterns (forthcoming in March 2023 from Vine Leaves Press)
“… a poignant and uncompromising novel. With gritty and luminous prose, Nickol demands the reader’s attention on every page as he explores the price of ambition at all costs.”
-Soon Wiley, author of When We Fell Apart
"… a wickedly funny examination of college sports, colliding egos, and the often inadvisable ways we go about the pursuit of our dreams … A dark comedic gem of a novel.”
-Margaret Malone, author of People Like You
