EBWe are very, very excited to be publishing Blake Butler’s novel, There Is No Year, on April 5. It’s pretty much my job to boil our books down to pithy one-sentence descriptions most of the time, but There Is No Year is a book that defies such things. It’s a horror story. It’s a story about a family. Trippy is a stupid word, but it’s pretty trippy.
You’ll have to wait till April 5 to hold the book in your hands—but, if you’re in New York City, you won’t have to wait that long to hear the entire thing read out loud. Next week, over four nights from March 8-11, Blake, other acclaimed writers, and Harper Perennial employees (including me and Blake’s editor, Cal Morgan), will read from the book at events all over the city such as the Franklin Park Reading Series, Word, Center for Fiction, and Powerhouse. Check out the flyer below for more details, and come by for readings and surprises.
