"I know of no writers other than Marly Youmans who has the genius to combine the spine-tingling suspense of Gothic storytelling with the immense charm, grace, glamour, realism, and simplicity of Hawthorne. Glimmerglass does more than shimmer and grip; it entertains and hypnotizes. Youmans, one of the biggest secrets of contemporary American fiction, writes with freshness and beauty." -from poet Jeffery Beam's blurb
I'll be posting more comments and images as the summer goes on...
Very nice! I'm glad to see it's 224 pages; I was worried for some reason that it was going to be really short, like 150 pages. No, I don't know where I got that idea. I'm also glad it's coming in hardback. Those Mercer folks seem pretty good. Anyway, I look forward to the release!
ReplyDeleteWell, it isn't one of these 900+-pound monsters. I don't have the least interest in that kind of book!
DeleteWell, Clive and I like to do projects together, and Mercer has a partnership with stellar designers. "The Throne of Psyche" got an Addy award, so I feel pretty sure this one will get something for design. It's so, so pretty.
Hmm, you might like to send them something...
Do you know, I think I might actually have a book they might like. Hmm. I'll let you know if I so submit to them. And really, I am looking forward to Glimmerglass!
DeleteYes, tell me; I wouldn't mind dropping them an introductory note! And good--I'm glad.
