So looking forward to Porachista Khakpour's new book. It was noted in Publishers Wkly #writingcommunity
"Khakpour’s new satirical novel Tehrangeles, out in June from Pantheon with an announced first printing of 50,000 copies, is her most fun and commercial work yet."

So sad. Tim Wakefield, amazing Red Sox pitcher, has died at 57 of brain cancer. Strange to mourn for someone I never knew but Red Sox nation, as we are known, loved him on and off the field. His wife also is battling cancer as she grieves.
