      Eula Biss is so good.

      There’s something very interesting about hearing a writer you admire read for the first time. She’s nothing like what I expected, but as soon as I heard her, she was exactly what I should have guessed (or so I felt).

      We really view what we’re doing here as the creation of not just a first year, frontlist publication, but an author’s body of work that’s going to remain in print and still be active two, three, five years down the line.

      This is pretty hypocritical of him considering the remarkably poor quality (that of physical, printed object, not of the writing) of the average Harper Perennial book.

      The Calvert Morgan interview was an education. More stuff like that, please!

      is it just me, or is every story on fifty-two stories about people horribly killing themselves or others?
