So I think I'm going to be switching this blog over to Tumblr soon, but in the meantime here's the new official cover for The Blonde of the Joke, for those who haven't seen it yet. The new one is obvs totally different from the old one, but I actually think it reflects the mood of the book even better. Also who can argue with "people like pink!"?
The book comes out at the beginning of September. (Finally-- I mean for fuck's sake.)
So far, people have said some totally nice things about it:
Off-kilter humor, moody narration, and twisted psychology make this sardonic exploration of suburbia thrilling-like pocketing lip gloss and walking right out of the store... Dreamy collisions of reality and fantasy, of the nonsensical and impossible, make for a magical, slippery read. -- School Library Journal
...A ridiculous, riotous, tongue-in-cheek mad dash through the mall where everything is not as it seems... -- Kirkus
A John Hughes movie on downers. -- VOYA*
You pre-order it here now. (It doesn't seem to be on IndieBound yet, but obviously you should can/should get it from your favorite indie when it's actually released.)
*I count this as a rave
