I have to be careful when I pick up something of Kelly's, as it is always, always a call to creative action; her particular subspecies of magic makes me want to drop everything and make the art of my life RIGHT THEN, and also to grab a lance and hit the hills and hassle someone who's hassling a dragon, or something. SEE YOU ON THE THIRTEENTH.
I'm just looking at Substack for the first time--and I love your entry title. The Best Novel of 2024? Of course it will be. Congratulations, and thanks for spreading the confidence!
I totally agree with you that Sam is a better interviewer than Terry!!!! Tanya Mosley is doing really great things at Fresh Air though. Maybe I just love warm, kind voices. 🥹
Well I bloody loved reading this, about someone I’ve never heard of. Going to read Lull right now. I thank you.

Cannot wait to read.
Thank you for the wonderful suggestion! I have never heard of her, but I ordered the book and can’t wait to read it!
SOLD! I was unfamiliar with Kelly Link’s work, but not for long!
What a delicious sounding person! Will read and Sam Frogoso is the best!!
What n amazing recommendation. I’ve never come across Kelly before but will absolutely be looking up her work. Thank you.
I was just wishing for something to be excited about, and in one newsletter I have a new book and a new podcast to check out, so exciting!
Several years ago, an ensemble in Chicago did a short opera based on Kelly Link's work. It was incredible!
She is a WONDER.
I’m sold!
Well, now I MUST read Kelly Link!!!!! Thank you so much for this! xo
It's just so great.
I’m about 1/4th in and I love it so.
