[Fredslist] Next Gotham Book Club Selection!

[Julie Klein]

BOTH WAYS IS THE ONLY WAY I WANT IT by Maile Meloy.

According to the author's publisher,

"This short story collection was featured on the cover of the Sunday  
New York Times Book Review. The reviewer, Curtis Sittenfeld (author of  
Prep and American Wife) wrote: “she’s such a talented and  
unpredictable writer that I’m officially joining her fan club;  
whatever she writes next, I’ll gladly read it.”

And in a lengthy review in Time magazine, the reviewer called Meloy  
“capable of witchcraft,” calling the stories “quick, powerful jabs.”

A reviewer for the Boston Globe said, “Maile Meloy’s impressive “Both  
Ways Is The Only Way I Want It’’ hides no cubic zirconias among  
diamonds. The stories are all lustrous, the language as pristine as a  
lake in Montana, where several of them are set.”

The Los Angeles Times review concluded, simply: “Meloy's lean,  
targeted descriptions and her ultimately compassionate eye make this  
journey hurt so good.”

Please join us in reading Maile Maloy's latest book !  The Online  
Discussion will take place in October, 2009 -- the precise date and  
time TBA!!
