Chelsea Cain’s Holiday Gift Suggestion
You may recall Chelsea Cain’s Author2Author feature with Susan Kandel earlier this year. You should definitely track down her Nancy Drew parody, Confessions of a Teen Sleuth, which is a full 180 degrees from her holiday gift recommendation…
Veronica, by Mary Gaitskill: A National Book Award finalist (I know! A risky pick on my part!), Veronica is a twisted, beautiful, grotesque, graceful, lyrical little masterpiece in which a beaten-down former model ruminates about her life. Hint: It’s not happy. But it’s sooooo good. I am confident that I will write the rest of my life, and not come up with five sentences as good as any in this book.
