My friend, Jess Walter, has seen his novel, Beautiful Ruins, rise to #12 on The New York Times Bestseller List. You can buy his book here.
Jess is truly one of the great writers in the world. He's won the Edgar Award and been a National Book Award finalist, and now he's achieving the commercial success that he's always deserved. I couldn't be happier. I am Chicken Dancing with joy.
I'm not in there dancing, but my mother, sisters, brothers, and ten thousand cousins are all over the place.

I read the Financial Lives of Poets due to your recommendation; it was an incredible book. I was so moved by it that I emailed Jess Walters to tell him how much it meant to me. I NEVER expected him to write me back but he did. I can't wait for this book ! btw, he said "I guess I owe Sherman one"..ha ha :-)

Thank you for the recommendation! I probably would have missed this completely, but will make a point of reading it based on your recommendation!
