Hi folks. Here's what's new this week at Necessary Fiction:

Our reviews editor Diane Josefowicz wrote about Three Stories of Forgetting by Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida, translated by Alison Entrekin for FSG.

Tayyba Kanwal discussed her collection Talking With Boys (Black Lawrence Press) with Margaret Hutton.

Our featured story was "Penis Season" by Jamey Gallagher (who previously shared some research notes), selected by guest editor Demisty Bellinger.

And in research notes, Dana Diehl returned to write about her latest book The Earth Room from Black Lawrence Press.

Finally, in addition to the review above, Diane's own new book, the mystery novel The Great House of Pill Hill, will be published by Soho Crime on May 5 and is available for preorder now. Those of you in or around New York City are invited to join Diane to celebrate the book at P&T Knitwear on Thursday, May 7.

Thanks for reading,

Steve Himmer
