The Next Letter In The Mail: Elisa Albert

By

The next Letter In The Mail, going out early next week, is from Elisa Albert.

Elisa Albert is the author of How This Night is Different (stories) and The Book of Dahlia (a novel).  The New Yorker said she “writes with a pathos uniquely her own, all the more blistering for being slyly invoked.”

Her work has appeared in Tin House, FiveChapters, Lilith, Post Road, and a bunch of anthologies.

Here she is on NPR discussing The Book of Dahlia and here’s an interview from Esquire.
