Rebecca Makkai's murder mystery; Margot Douaihy's bad-a** nun (and an interview); Sterling Watson's country noir; William Landay's missing mom. Plus a neighborhood cocktail and Neal's new paperback.
I need to read I Have Some Questions for You but thinking of saving it for a road trip at the end of the month. Hats off for your persistence. Sometimes it really sucks being the one essential human in a commodity-driven business.
Thanks for sharing your tribulations with publishing mergers, disappearing editors and publicists, and repeated orphanings. It's a good reminder that this kind of thing happens to many writers, and to hang in there!
Thanks Elizabeth! Definitely makes me feel less alone to share this with other writers, and to hear from other writers in return. It's rough out there! Maybe see you at AWP?
Two of my faves of the year so far — I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU and SCORCHED GRACE.
👍🏻

Thanks Jim! And yeah, I think the new Makkai would be a good road trip book.
