Another bit of good news (for New Yorkers anyway): Dubravka Ugresic, author of the recently published and newly NBCC-Award-nominated Karaoke Culture, will be in the city for the National Book Critics Circle Awards Finalists Reading on March 7. The Finalists Reading will take place in the Tishman Auditorium of The New School at 6:00 p.m. Admission is free, but seating is first-come first-served, so make sure to get there early, or risk missing out! Finally, Death in Spring by the late, great Catalan author Mercè Rodoreda was just reviewed on-air at NPR's All Things Considered. The novel, which tells the story of a no-name, bizarre town by way of a fourteen-year-old boy trying to come to terms with the craziness and violence around him, is one of the most unique and interesting books that we’ve published, and it’s fantastic its getting such great publicity. Reviewer (and National Book Award winner) Jesmyn Ward sums it up nicely: "When you read this book, read it for its beauty, for the way it will surprise and subvert your desires, and as a testament to the human spirit in the face of brutality and willful inhumanity." You can listen to (or read) the full review over at NPR. Until next time, Liz “Six” Mullins
