Spotted: Mannequin in the window of Mrs. Dalloway’s in Berkley dressed as Bernadette (sunglasses, scarf, and all) from Maria Semple’s novel, Where’d You Go, Bernadette.This mannequin really seems to have a thing for Little, Brown books. Earlier this year she was seen next to a copy of My Ideal Bookshelf!
A post from our new blog over at littlebrown.tumblr.com. We’ll be phasing this one out soon, but don’t worry, we’ll have the same great stuff over at our new blog.
Hello World!

We’re moving! Check out our new tumblr.
Super fun Twitter chat happening at noon ET on Wednesday, May 1st! Jennifer Close and Lucinda Rosenfeld will chat about all things siblings, sister rivalry, family, writing, and more using the hashtag #SmartandPretty. You can start asking questions on Twitter now with that hashtag and Jennifer and Lucinda will answer during the chat!
Here’s more about their novels:
Entertainment Weekly says, ““If you’re looking for the literary equivalent of HBO’s Girls, then check out Jennifer Close’s debut novel, Girls in White Dresses, which charts the travails of flailing twentysomethings. Her follow-up, The Smart One, feels the way Girls could circa season 6, when ‘almost getting it kind of together’ ceases to be cute… . This bighearted novel examines a generation of nonstarters with a mix of empathy and Close’s signature deadpan, pathos-driven humor.”
Jennifer on Twitter @JenniferClose
“Although the novel’s twists and turns are entertaining, it’s the sisters’ realistic swings from jealousy to unity that make it compelling.Once again, the author of I’m So Happy forYou portrays women with insight.” (Booklist)

The New York Times crossword had one of our favorite words in it last week: Schmaltz! We’re getting ready to publish The Book of Schmaltz: Love Song to a Forgotten Fat by Michael Ruhlman, and it seems like the word is popping up everywhere. While the word has come to mean sentimental, Ruhlman explores it’s original meaning — rendered chicken fat — and provides some great recipes for using this flavor-packed ingredient.
David Sedaris tells Terry Gross about his public persona versus his private one, the person who appears in his diaries:
There’s the you that you present to the world and then there’s, you know, of course the real one and, if you’re lucky, there’s not a huge difference between those two people and I guess in my diary I’m not afraid to be boring. It’s not my job to entertain anyone in my diary.
