This month, Andrew picks two small press books: Becky Hagenston‘s Strange Weather, out from Press 53. The book won the Spokane Prize for Short Fiction but the press folded, so it’s wonderful for everyone concerned that Press 53 was able to step in. And Matthew Pitt’s Attention Please Now, from Autumn House Press. There’s one “big house” pick this month, too: Robin Black’s If I Loved You, I Would Tell You, from Random House.
