Here's what 2024 Dublin Literary Award judge Chris Morash had to say about Jonathan Escoffery's If I Survive You: "Escoffery blurs the lines between the short story and the novel in a work that brings us into the lives of Jamaican-Americans in Miami." 🧵1/2

Congratulations, Uche! Honored to have worked on A KIND OF MADNESS w/ Tin House! Publishers Weekly said it best: "Okonkwo has a Chekhovian eye for the tangle of internal motivations & assumptions that steer her characters....Readers will be eager for more of [her] artful writing.

Here is Jennifer Garner bringing you 25 seconds of joy.

Thank you to Francie & Finch Bookshop Timothy Schaffert Tin House and everyone who came to the launch for A Kind of Madness ❤❤❤

Lunchtime read: Uche Okonkwo's "Debris," a short, heartbreaking highlight from A KIND OF MADNESS. lithub.com/debris/ The young protag, D’boy, does not have parents who can care for him or a societal safety net. He's out on his own, and he must do whatever it takes to survive.
