Goodness, did I love Edward P. Jones' The Known World.  Obviously I'm not alone--this masterful novel, about black slave owners (you read right), won the Pulitzer Prize, and so many QPBers read and adored it too. (The book was reportedly decades in the making.  Worth the wait).  In any case, Jones is back with an incredible short story collection.  QPB, of course, will be offering it soon in early paperback.  While we wait, read this interview in the New York Times.
