Our new feature is Tania James‘s collection Aerogrammes and Other Stories (Knopf). James is also the author of Atlas of Unknowns (Knopf, 2009), which was a New York Times Editor’s Choice, an Indie Next Notable, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection, and a Best Book of 2009 for The San Francisco Chronicle and NPR. Her short fiction has appeared in such places as Boston Review, Granta, Guernica, Kenyon Review, One Story, Orion, and A Public Space. The title story of her collection was a finalist for Best American Short Stories 2008 and a Pushcart Prize nominee. She lives in Washington, DC.
In a recent review, Contributing Editor J.T. Bushnell writes:
Readers who enjoyed James’s debut novel, Atlas of Unknowns, will recognize her subject matter and style, but the range, wisdom, and poignancy in these nine stories keep them fresh and original.
