Stephanie Powell Watts‘s story “Money in My Hand” appears in Volume 34.1 and in our Archived Features. Now available, a summer must-read, her debut novel, No One Is Coming to Save Us:

“A skillful riff on The Great Gatsby… Watts writes about ordinary people leading ordinary lives with an extraordinary level of empathy and attention….The ways in which No One Is Coming to Save Us intersects with and veers away from Fitzgerald’s familiar plot can be very rewarding… Every departure can be seen as a sly comment on what it means to be a person of color in today’s America…. The novel’s intricately plotted relationships pay off satisfyingly in its final chapters.” —New York Times Book Review

Congratulations, Stephanie!
