waiting for its official release, but can't wait to read it. reading blake's blurb and seeing praise for it in the comment section here makes me even more stoked for it

“Stunning debut” is another that might could retire.

I like this take on blurbs. It’s generous and makes room for writers being good to each other when we can. I recently got a blurb for my upcoming book from a writer whose work I’ve loved for ages. It might be the best blurb ever written. Not because the writer gushed about my book but because she did so in very different (hilarious, creative) ways than the usual blurb.

PAN is dope as fuck, and while I didn’t need selling (I knew Clune’s work going in) your blurb would’ve swayed me if I’d needed swaying

Well, you just sold a copy of Flower, among other reasons to find out how automatic nonfiction reads.
