Call 2014 a big year for Kate Zambreno: this June, her novel Green Girl will be reissued by Harper Perennial (note the new cover above), followed by a November release for her next book, titled Book of Mutter. For those of you who like your writing challenging, searing, and essential, this is likely a good year for you as well.

Also of note: Zambreno contributed to our “A Year of Favorites” series in December; her thoughts on last year in books are worth revisiting at any time (we’d say).
