Nice News for ISLE

October 6, 2013 By Laura

THE ISLE OF YOUTH’s book b-day is about a month away and some nice news has rolled in this past week:

~ I am a massive Karen Russell fan, so extra extra grateful for her lovely recommendation of ISLE in the Miami Herald.

~ The amazing Kyle Minor recommended ISLE over at HTML GIANT, along with a slew of other books I already love (SPEEDBOAT! RUNNING AWAY!) and/or am looking forward to reading. And speaking of looking forward, I could not possibly be more excited about Kyle’s new collection, PRAYING DRUNK, which will be out from Sarabande in February.

~ A kind and thoughtful review of ISLE by Erin McKnight in Heavy Feather Review.
