From Dzanc Books:
Dzanc Books recognized by The L Magazine!
The L Magazine has just announced their Best of NY City Issue and when it comes to the area of letters, Dzanc Books and our authors have done well. The L Magazine noted the four best independent works of fiction in 2008 (so far) and praised Dzanc's debut title, Roy Kesey's All Over by saying:
"Short stories: we love ’em, and Dzanc Books, a small press out of Michigan that
shot out of the gate with Kesey’s All Over, is going to be publishing a lot of them.
This is a book that combines the wiliness of George Saunders and the wisdom of
Ron Carlson. Put simply: this is a great collection."
They also pointed out the best short stories published by NYC publications and tops on that list was "What the World Will Look Like When All the Water Leaves Us" (One Story #102), which is the title story from the forthcoming (November 2009) collection Dzanc Books will be publishing by Laura van den Berg.
We're both proud and thrilled to see Roy and Laura's names alongside authors like Lydia Millet, Robert Coover, and Louise Erdich!
