The New Yorker’s got a new Jonathan Lethem story up, “Lostronaut.” I haven’t read it yet, but I can’t wait to read it.

Minnesota author Rob Hahn’s The Funeral Home Murders is based on the double murder at that funeral home in Hudson a few years back. Interesting. The PiPress has got the scoop on the book.
