Even More Curtis Sittenfeld (FROM KATY)

FROM KATY FOR THE LADIES....

Maybe you're almost done with your next book club assignment, or maybe you haven't started. Wherever you are, I've got some bonus reading material for you.
Curtis Sittenfeld is writing a five-part inauguration-themed novella for Slate—thanks to my new favorite blog for the heads-up. The original content starts today and ends on Inauguration Day (January 20). Apparently she sold a bit of her soul last year to do the same thing for a luxury car company, so consider her redeemed if you're a fanatic of puritanical prose that exists solely for the evolution and betterment of the human psyche.

BONUS: You can also enjoy a podcast of Sittenfeld reading 'Yes We Did,' if you're one of those audio learners. Enjoy!

For the love of literature,
Katy

  1. Thanks for posting, James! I just read the first part and I'm hooked. Let me know what you think, and if enough of us have read this, too, we'll have a quick mini-discussion while we're waxing poetic on 'American Wife.'
