Diary Of A Debut Novelist

“This summer, a new David Mitchell novel and a new Gary Shteyngart novel will arrive on shelves, both of which I will rush out to purchase. A new Andrea Levy, new Tom McCarthy (Remainder-!!!), new Jennifer Egan. Six billion terrific ‘debut’ novels will appear, I’m sure, in a year when many terrific novels have already been published. And then there’s Franzen. Franzen. For years, publishing executives have stage-whispered over lunch, “When will Franzen return to rezap our cojones?’

I am ridiculously lucky and deliriously happy to be so seriously fucked.”
-Rosecrans Baldwin’s debut novel, You Lost Me There, is now available for purchase. So you should probably do that.
