Greetings from Chicago everyone, it's your friendly roving nonfiction acquisitions editor, Alex A.G. Shapiro. I'm reading My Mistress's Sparrow Is Dead: Great Love Stories, from Chekhov to Munro by Jeffrey Eugenides (Editor), and a business book called Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Chip Heath, Dan Heath. On deck is Charles Bock's much ballyhooed debut, Beautiful Children.
