| Interview with Joshua Ferris (2010) |
(Wed, 13 Jan 2010)
|
Joshua Ferris's new novel,
The Unnamed, is a very different (and much darker) book than his acclaimed debut,
Then We Came to the End, but his clarity of voice, urgency of purpose, fascinating characters, and even hints of humor remain. "[A] remarkable second novel," proclaims Publishers Weekly in a starred review. "Ferris manages to inject a bizarre whimsy into a devastatingly sad story." We interviewed Ferris with his editor, Reagan Arthur, who debuts her new imprint with this novel. |

| Interview with Paul Jenner |
(Fri, 10 Feb 2012)
|
Lost Lore is a dream for anyone interested in practicing nostalgia. Drawing on superstition, folklore, ancient texts, and maybe even an anecdote from your great-grandmother, it's an eclectic collection of wisdom and timeless tips that includes methods to cure drunkenness, forecast the weather through your pet's behavior, predict the sex of a baby, and tell time by the stars. We caught up with Lost Lore coauthor Paul Jenner, and talked about how he conducted his research, why he feels books like this are important, and whether or not you should trust a dowser. (Do you feel lucky?) |

 Best known for his bestselling
Artemis Fowl series, Eoin Colfer was selected by the estate of the late Douglas Adams to write
And Another Thing..., the sixth and final volume in the beloved
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Whether you've enjoyed Colfer's previous work, are a fan of Douglas Adams, or just love irreverent science fiction, And Another Thing... is a perfectly absurd, hilarious, and delightful read. |

| Interview with Julie Powell |
(Fri, 10 Feb 2012)
|
Julie Powell charmed readers with
Julie and Julia, in which she chronicled her quest to cook, in one year, every recipe out of Julia Child's
Mastering the Art of French Cooking. After its huge success and that of the subsequent blockbuster movie, she's back with a new memoir:
Cleaving: A Book of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession. Far from a fluffy follow-up, she writes about learning to cut up animals at a butcher shop in upstate New York, while trying to make sense of her marriage after having an obsessive, two year affair. |

| Interview with Donald Miller |
(Thu, 12 Nov 2009)
|
When Donald Miller agreed to adapt his bestselling Christian memoir
Blue Like Jazz into a feature film, he discovered that even the life of a bestselling author is...pretty boring. This revelation sent Miller on a two-fold journey to learn how to craft a meaningful story for his script and for his life. The result? Blue Like Jazz the movie (coming out in late 2010) and
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, an inspiring, funny, heartbreaking new memoir that will appeal to anyone looking to craft a more meaningful life story. |
