It's official

Ed Park's comic novel Personal Days will be published by Random House in May 2008! I think I am not breaking any confidences when I say that I've read this book in manuscript & it's a work of utter & delightful genius, I can't wait for the time when everyone else can read it also! I will embarrass Ed by writing this, but he has one of the most supple and appealing literary sensibilities I have ever encountered: he's a genuinely brilliant editor and essayist-reviewer, and his novel is certainly cut of the same cloth...
