rachelfershleiser: You might be shocked to know that Emma Straub, daughter of Peter Straub, master of horror, is the one of the most preternaturally sunny and groovy-smart writers in Brooklyn. Her debut collection, Other People We Married—short stories about young women navigating the complexities of love—was first published last year with a modest little press. It was so well acclaimed, however, that Riverhead decided to give the book new legs, and so it re-enters the world with great fanfare this week. With the new release, Straub is granted the unusual, magical experience of being a blushing bride all over again, and her stories get a much-deserved second shot at making it big. (via Just My Type: Books with Second Lives | Fanfair | Vanity Fair) I really loved this book. Fuuuuuuck how is there an AS Byatt book out there I keep still not having read!
