The universe is in luck, as two fantastic reads are now finally available for purchase.
First, Julia Dahl, my friend of seventeen years, is today celebrating the publication of her debut novel–Invisible City, a murder mystery set in Brooklyn’s Orthodox Jewish community. Julia has been honing her craft ever since I’ve known her, and it’s insanely gratifying for me to see her success. I’ve read the first chapter of Julia’s novel and it’s awesome. Can’t wait to devour the rest.
Also of note, Colson Whitehead’s new book The Noble Hustle has just dropped, and it’s non-fiction, and it’s about poker, and I’m one of the central characters. Obviously I’m biased, but the book is great and everyone should read it.
There you have it–stop what you’re doing and buy these books. Then read them. I’ll wait…
