I'm very happy to announce that Penguin will be publishing my novel Necessary Errors as a paperback original in 2013. My editor will be Allison Lorentzen; the deal was negotiated by Sarah Chalfant of the Wylie Agency.
The title comes from a phrase in an Auden poem. I haven't yet quite risen to the challenge of saying what the novel is about; when asked, I murmur, "Youth," and gesture vaguely and wistfully upward. But it's probably too soon to say more to the world at large anyway. More news in a year or so!
Congratulations!

Caleb,
That's five-star wonderful news. I can't wait to read it (but will wait). I'm with Karl about your n+1 appearance, which was great reading.
Congratulations! And way to go Penguin!
Your pal Wyatt
