Kick the Latch

Kathryn Scanlan
Leslie JamisonLeslie Jamison

Kick the Latch interlaces the dark threads of violence that run through The Dominant Animal with the unsentimental rituals of caregiving that anchor Aug 9-Fog. Kick the Latch is perched ambiguously between novel and oral history.

We are *impossibly* excited that it's pub week for @MHuneven's wonderful new novel SEARCH. It's about a church search committee & it is a f*&king page-turner. Had to wrestle it out of this sweet girl's hands. https://t.co/WT8kbmlGD7

Sarah Sentilles
Leslie JamisonLeslie Jamison

Sometimes you read a book that just flattens you. For days, flattens you. Rearranges you. That happened to me with STRANGER CARE by @SarahSentilles. Whoever you are, you should read it. I can't wait to talk about it with her on 5/12. https://www.greenlightbookstore.com/event/sarah-sentilles-leslie-jamison https://t.co/xhipH4UPYm
