you go, bee lavender!

I am so pleased for my friend Bee. Her amazing new memoir "Lessons in Taxidermy" has just been nominated for an American Library Award and it's on the Village Voice Literary Supplement's bestseller list.

It's a really terrific piece of writing. You should buy it and read it.

And then, go buy some more copies and give them to all your friends. It's an especially good read for anyone who has ever been faced with a scary medical diagnosis.
