Julia Fierro's Blog: Author of The Gypsy Moth Summer and Cutting Teeth - Posts Tagged "2014-books"

Thank you to Eric Nelson for mentioning Cutting Teeth as a “book to look out for in 2014” over at Vol. 1 Brooklyn.

Eric is a fantastic writer, reader, literary citizen and lit-supporter, so the mention means a lot!
Check out all his 2013 favorites (books, journals, presses, websites, peeps), and his 2014 list, which includes Courtney Maum’s I Am Having So Much Fun Without You, which I’m also looking forward to.

So excited and grateful to see Cutting Teeth on Flavorwire's "15 Most Anticipated Books of 2014" list!

And to be in the company of many of the books I can't wait to read in 2014, books by former Sackett Street instructors Emma Straub and Adam Wilson, and by writers Roxane Gay, D. Foy, Kyle Minor, Porochista Khakpour, Paula Bomer, Jen Doll, Geoff Dyer, Lydia Davis, Chang-rae Lee (literary dystopian novel-yes!), and more.

A huge thank you to HuffPost Books for including Cutting Teeth on their “30 Books You NEED To Read In 2014″ list!

And the company I’m in–Chang-rae Lee, Ayelet Waldman, Rachel Joyce, Geoff Dyer, Lorrie Moore, Susan Minot, Yiyun Li, Mona Simpson, Emma Donoghue, many my own favorite authors… pretty dreamy.

“Reminiscent of Meg Wolitzer’s 2013 hit, The Interestings, Fierro’s book catalogues two summer days at a beach house, where a group of 30-something friends meet, and many realize that they’re disappointed with what their lives are turning out to be.”

Along with books by Lena Dunham, Emma Donoghue, Daniel Alarcon, Sue Monk Kidd, E.L. Doctorow, Natalie Young, Joanne Harris, Jo Baker and Lynn Truss.

Thrilled to be in such fabulous company!

“Fierro’s first novel captures the complexity of forging new friendships and redefining lives as contemporary parents. Her characters are meticulously drawn, the situations emotionally charged.
Readers, especially young parents, won’t be able to look away.”
