Ray of the Star has been selected as a finalist for the 2010 Pen USA Literary Award for Fiction.

Actes Sud, my French publisher, has set November as the release date for their version of The Exquisite (trans. Barbara Schmidt).

Listening to samples for the audio version of The Impossibly.  Details to follow on release date, etc.

Stay-tuned for info about the release of one of my novels as an audiobook. 

Also, reading galleys of my translation of Oliver Rohe's Vacant Lot (Counterpath, this fall).

A number of things coming in the next several months: Marick Press will reissue my first book, The Paris Stories; Counterpath Press will publish my translation of Oliver Rohe's short novel, Vacant Lot; and Coffee House will be releasing my novels (The Impossibly, Indiana, Indiana, The Exquisite and Ray of the Star) electronically.  Also, in 2011, Coffee House will release a 10th anniversary paperback edition of The Impossibly.  More on all of this and other things as the months unfurl.
