Throwback to when I read the National Book Award winning James by Percival Everett last year just like everyone else.
I remember when this one came in on submission, the excitement was palpable across the floor.
What’s wild is that I haven’t worked at Knopf Doubleday in nearly two years, just to give you some perspective on how long it still takes for the book to come out.
I’m still at Penguin Random House, just now I’m in corporate instead of within a publishing division. It’s been an amazing learning experience, but I also hope one day I’ll be closer to the books again.
QOTD: have you read James or do you plan to?
