EBDoes anyone else ever think about how weird the word “blurb” is? We say it a lot around here, and to me it just gets sillier every time. But we love it when other writers love our writers’ writing, and I’m excited to start sharing these quotes with you earlier. Here’s a great one we just got for Simon Van Booy’s Everything Beautiful Began After, on sale July 5th, from Emma Straub, author of Other People We Married:
“Everything Beautiful Began After both creates and satisfies a feeling of wanderlust. Van Booy’s confident prose carries the reader over oceans and back again, into archaeological digs and airport hotels, and the romance at the center of the book stays vivid long after the story is through. Van Booy’s debut novel is no doubt the first of many, and I look forward to the grand career ahead. “
