PYT PIA NYT!
WTG:
Story Collections by Robin Romm and Pia Z. Ehrhardt - New York Times: "The collection’s most successful story, “The Longest Part of the Day,” moves between the point of view of 15-year-old Jilly, who goes missing when she takes a ride with Jimmy, the grocery bagger from Piggly Wiggly, and her mother, who is having an affair with her ex-husband’s brother. Ms. Ehrhardt deftly captures the repercussions of a narcissistic mother caught in the undertow of her own desires, and the unexpected tenderness that surfaces between Jimmy and Jilly. It’s quite amazing what Ms. Ehrhardt accomplishes in a mere 24 pages. It is, in short, a great story."Today, apparently, I will be so happy for Pia I will utter only three-letter gibberish. Until just now. When I don't. As I told y'all before, Pia rocks. And you will buy her book post haste.
BTW: NYT= New York Times; PIA=Pia; PYT=Pretty Young Thing [no arguing this, please].
