The debut novel that The Guardian called “pitch-perfect” is on sale today!
“Preserving a child’s viewpoint while attending to the adult reader seemed like a fun challenge.”
From the Foreword by Roy Blount, Jr.: “This is the funniest damn book, and so adroit, and so serious, so full of unforced heart.”
“The story had always been about two halves of a couple using each other to get what they want.”
“I like to think of the people I personally know placed in deep history.”
“I wrote almost euphorically, allowing my memories, my knowledge, and my imagination to meld endlessly, freely.”
“Writing can be a lonely endeavor, and it is wonderful to now be connected to these other emerging writers.”
“I wanted to write about the experience of my first language, about learning how to ask through hands before words.”
“A story comes to me like a match and I’ll write the first draft frantically until it burns out.”
