Ok, you got me, they didn't really…and I'll probably get in trouble for insinuating such things! However, there is some exciting (legit) news regarding said superstars. Ann Patchett will appear on The Martha Stewart show, this Friday, December 16, where she will discuss her favorite books for holiday gifts. Now using your impressive powers of elimination, you can guess what's on her list, can't you? Kevin Wilson's The Family Fang!
Much like many others (i.e. anyone at LLF and any librarians we have strongly encouraged, read: manhandled, into reading this book), Ann Patchett loves it:
“The Family Fang is a comedy, a tragedy, and a tour-de-force examination of what it means to make art and survive your family….The best single word description would be brilliant.”
Be sure to tune in and see what other recommendations the talented Ms. Patchett has.
In other exciting, related news, The Family Fang was also just named a Top Ten Book of the Year by TIME Magazine…BOOM, mind blown!
Me thinks all signs point to you procuring this for a loved one this holiday season.
