READING, SPEAKING, LAUGHING, THEN SHUTTING UP

**PROMOTING THE RELEASE OF "Love is a Four Letter Word (Plume). 

“Rewarding and worth dipping into . . . Standouts include Junot Diaz’s ‘Homecoming, with Turtle,’ Gary Shteyngart’s ‘Texas’ and Maud Newton’s ‘Conversations You Have at Twenty.’ Humorist Dan Kennedy, author of the acerbic 2008 memoir Rock On, crafts a hilarious piece about dating a divorced aerobics instructor a decade older than he.”—KIRKUS REVIEWS
