Holiday Reinhorn
Dear Librarian, BIG CATS just named to the Best Books of the Year List by the San Francisco Chronicle! I know Short Story Collections may not be at the top of your To Buy list right now, but here's my pitch: Short stories just seem so true to how people emote and live. You are going about the larger scope of your life, punctuated with all these flashes of insight and horror and revulsion and joy. You are thrown up against something random which suddenly, for no apparent reason, becomes something momentous and specific. I also love that short stories are considered the true American form that came about in America. It's interesting to me because everything in America is always about being big big big. tall tall tall. loud loud loud. And then there is the short story, which tries to achieve all those things in an economical space. Check out my website www.holidayreinhorn.com for more advance praise and good reviews, along with the latest updates. The first five librarians who ask get a free, autographed copy of BIG CATS too. "Newbie Holiday Reinhorn roars in Big Cats." --Vanity Fair
"Reinhorn's twisted sense of humor and exceptional skill make [familiar] topics seem fresh again" --The New York Times Book Review
