Please Don’t Come Back From The Moon

“Bakopoulos’ endearing first novel . . . is a tale that, despite the boys’ empty longing, is full of hope.”

This is true. I applied for a Guggenheim (and won) in 2008 while I sat in the basement with a crying baby in my lap. It was a total long shot but I was very broke and was playing the lotto often so figured why not. Did I cry when the award letter arrived? No you cried https://t.co/OP5oB1Bt8O
