Daddy
By Emma Cline (Sept. 1)
The New York Times bestselling author of The Girls turns to short fiction in this collection of 10 short stories that Booklist calls “a riveting, timely tapestry of realizations, motivations, and desires.”
“E.L. Doctorow said once said that ‘Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.’ You don’t have to see where you’re going, you don’t have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way. You just have to see two or three feet ahead of you. This is right up there with the best advice on writing, or life, I have ever heard.”
