New and noteworthy

Dan Chaon's new novel, Await Your Reply, contains three separate stories about people driving away from their homes, abandoning their lives and remaking themselves. The critics are giving it rave reviews: "a novel that succeeds as brilliantly as the short stories that have won him a National Book Award nomination, a Pushcart Prize, an O. Henry Award and an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters" (Washington Post); "Mr. Chaon manages to bridge the gap between literary and pulp fiction with a clever, insinuating book equally satisfying to fans of either genre" (New York Times); "In the end, Await Your Reply is a story that unfolds with chilling precision. You'll be spellbound from start to finish. 4 stars" (People Magazine). Check it out!
