We’ve considerably enjoyed Laura Van Den Berg‘s pair of collections, The Isle of Youth and What the World Will Look Like When All the Water Leaves Us. Van Den Berg has a knack for creating memorable characters and unpredictable plots, and the sense of place conveyed by her fiction is excellent. So we’re very excited to hear that her debut novel, Find Me, is due out next year. From the description, it sounds surreal and neatly cataclysmic; needless to say, our interest is piqued.
