Man and Wife’s pub date approaches

Katie Chase’s electrifying collection, Man and Wife, is out May 10. Publishers Weekly calls it “a consistently provocative debut collection.” Marie Claire says it’s “funny, subversive, and antagonizing.” Peter Ho Davies remarks, “Katie Chase’s narrators sound like the girl-next-door … if you lived next door to a parallel universe.” We’ll be celebrating this one all […] Read more – ‘Man and Wife’s pub date approaches’.

March Madness

Oh hey, y’all. Hope spring’s treating you right. Down here in Austin we’re still recovering from the unwieldy beast of SXSW and reliving some of the best shows we saw a week or two ago. (Torres!

AWP & SXSW

Hey, y’all. Has your March been as busy as ours? We spent a cold couple of days in Boston at AWP, which was miraculous and draining. We loved meeting everyone who took the time to come by the table or drink with us at Back Bay Social Club, and we were thrilled to see some […] Read more – ‘AWP & SXSW’.
