Currently mad for
I am currently mad for Emily Perkins, whose A Novel About My Wife is soon released (and it comes dovegrey recommended). Very exciting also to announce that I will interviewing Emily Perkins in the very near future. And so I’ll be blasting through her back catalogue in the meantime: I’ve got her previous novels The New Girl and Leave Before You Go, as well as The Picnic Virgin, an anthology she edited of contemporary New Zealand short stories. Stay tuned for news and reviews.
I’m now reading Jennica Harper’s The Octopus for the fourth or fifth time.
I’m going to read this next!
I’m almost done Unaccustomed Earth, and I adore it. Her writing is magnificent. She reminds me of Alice Munro.
Have you read Interpreter of Maladies yet? Magnificent doesn’t come close to describing…
