I’ll be reading with Chiara Barzini and Catherine Lacey this Thursday, Jan. 12th, at Pacific Standard in Brooklyn. 7 PM. Just finished reading Chiara’s excellent debut SISTER STOP BREATHING. I began it on the subway last night and finished it this morning. I highly recommend this talented new voice.

In my new role as Book Review editor for fiction and poetry at The Brooklyn Rail, I have a sense of how much work faces my editors at The New York Times Book Review. Each of my following reviews at the NYTBR owes all to those excellent folks. (Note: Some of my reviews for The New York Times Book Review appeared in the Fiction Chronicle. Those books and authors have been listed separately.)
