Save the Date

Just a note that I’ll be reading February 8 at WORD bookstore in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, along with Joyland founders Emily Schultz and Brian Joseph Davis. You might have read Laura Miller’s Salon piece about buying e-books from indie bookstores and this event will be all about that. In fact, if you buy a Joyland e-book from WORD—like, say, mine—you get a free copy of Joyland’s new print anthology, Joyland Retro, at the event. Reverse showrooming/born digital reverse engineering for the win!

PRAISE FOR
WHY THEY CRIED



"... demonstrates real insight into the way we live now."
 –The Rumpus

"Reminiscent of George Saunders and James Thurber, Why They Cried is a great collection of modern tales."
–Hannah Tinti, author of The Good Thief and co-founder of One Story

"Jim Hanas has a remarkable talent for imagining and crafting uncanny little worlds that make me vaguely nervous. And yet I never want to leave."
–Rob Walker, co-founder of Significant Objects

"A tender and smart assembly of fiction about people trying to communicate—with each other, the world—and all the ways they fail. Fail better, fail beautifully."
–Fiona Maazel, author of Last Last Chance

Jim Hanas is the author of the short story collection Why They Cried, a freelance writer, and director of strategy at Sonnet Media.
