“You will stay up all night reading this brilliant and devastating novel the way you might have with a new best friend in junior high-one whose revelations thrilled and terrified you, and whose raw, hard-earned wisdom remade the way you saw the world. It evokes the genius of Angela Pneumans canonical progenitors: Flannery O'Connor, Katherine Anne Porter, Walker Percy. Lay It on My Heart is a gorgeous, riveting, and unforgettable book.” WorldWayHeartBookHardMightNightReadingNovelSawsGeniusMy HeartLaysBrilliantRevelationsTerrifiedGorgeousAll NightJuniorsEvokeWalkersUnforgettableJunior HighAngelaUp All Night Author:Julie Orringer

“Somehow, in the novel format, I don't really like to do upfront, ideological discussion. In my heart, literature remains a poetic and ambiguous medium. On the other hand, I trained as a documentary filmmaker in film school, so my films very much reflect reality and socio-political problems. They're less subtle I would say.” HeartProblemRealitySchoolFilmLiteratureNovelMy HeartDiscussionFilmmakerPoeticIdeologicalAmbiguous Author:Xiaolu Guo
“'We Were the Mulvaneys' is perhaps the novel closest to my heart. I think of it as a valentine to a passing way of American life, and to my own particular child - and girlhood in upstate New York. Everyone in the novel is enormously close to me, including Marianne's cat, Muffin, who was in fact my own cat.” ThinkingWayHeartChildrenFactsMy OwnNovelNew YorkParticularMy HeartCatIncludingPassingPassingsClosestValentineAmerican LifeGirlhoodMuffinsUpstate New York Author:Joyce Carol Oates
“Dear Mia, What can I say? I don't know all that much about romance novels, but I think you must be the Stephen King of the genre. Your book is hot. Thanks for letting me read it. Anyone who doesn't want to publish it is a fool. Anyway, since I know it's your birthday, and I also know you never remember to back anything up, here's a little something I made for you. It would be a shame if Ransom My Heart got lost before it ever saw the light of day because your hard drive crashed. See you tonight.
