    SOLD! Sex on Trial (by Brett Gary)

    Morris Ernst, second from left, defending Flaubert’s November against obscenity charges in a New York City courtroom, 1935. Copyright: Harry Ransom Center, UT-Austin I hope everyone had a nice 4th, and that any people or pets living within fifty miles of a city are healing from the inevitable shell shock. I especially enjoyed this drone video showing LA's insane amateur pyrotechnics displays, which is more or less what I witnessed in DC. I was already in a celebratory mood he

    SOLD! Rice, Water, Earth (by Nancy Matsumoto and Michael Tremblay)

    Photo © Irwin Wong I am delighted to announce the sale of Rice, Water, Earth, by Nancy Matsumoto and Michael Tremblay, to Terri Jadick at Tuttle Publishing.

    SOLD! Salt Wars (by Michael Jacobson)

    SOLD! Waterproof (edited by Mario Alejandro Ariza)

    Brickell flooding during Hurricane Irma. MATT MCCLAIN THE WASHINGTON POST In September 2018 I sold my fellow Middlebury alum Mario Ariza's debut book Disposable City to Nation Books (now called Bold Type Books). That book is a deeply personal investigation of the present and future peril of sea level rise and climate warming in the Magic City (a harbinger for coastal cities worldwide). Mario is hardly the only Miamian thinking about the fate of their low-lying coastal city. I
