Huzzah!






There is excellent news to pass on about a number of my former students. Congratulations and pride!

Tea Obreht just received a starred review in Publishers Weekly for her novel The Tiger's Wife, forthcoming from Random House in March. She's also interviewed in the most recent issue.

Alexi Zentner's novel Touch, forthcoming from W.W. Norton in April, was just selected for the Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers Program.

David Fitzpatrick, whose memoir is forthcoming from HarperCollins next year, was featured as part of an article about the New Haven Review in a recent issue of the New Haven Advocate.

Nick Ripatrazone's Oblations is due out in late April from Gold Wake Press.

And Benjamin Hale's The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore (Twelve) will be out on the shelves (and will be Nook, Kindle, iPad-ready) any day now.

Thanks, Katrina. These five writers are wonderful!

And SY: I am just one of many teachers whom these writers have worked with--but thank you very much. And congratulations to them, yes.

wowie zowie, Paul, what a bounty of talent! I'm putting these on my list pronto, right along with your new baby, too. btw, wanted to send thousands and thousands of kudos to you for all your support and care of Mark. I'm sure your generous energy is of most benefit to him.
