There's no timeline set in stone for this project, but I've started my rereading journey already and can't wait to share it with you! Stay tuned!

*Note: you can no longer purchase the Coffee House Press edition of In the Distance from Bookshop, nor can you find it on Coffee House Press's website. I'm going to guess (though I don't know for sure) that the rights to the novel were sold to Riverhead Books, an imprint of Penguin and the publisher of Hernan Diaz's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Trust.
