New Anthology 'Love Is a Four-Letter Word' Examines Relief, Regret and Repentancenew
This anthology of "true stories of breakups, bad relationships and broken hearts" included stories from well-known writers like Junot Diaz, Gary Shteyngart, George Singleton, Lynda Barry and well-linked lit blogger Maud Newton. The book's epigraph, from Oscar Wilde, captures the complexities of the book's tone nicely; the heart, the Irish satirist tells us, was made to be broken.

The protagonist of Singleton's new novel, Mendal Dawes, grows up in the, uh, 100 percent fictional small mill town of Forty-Five, S.C., son to a brilliant if somewhat unbalanced trickster of an anarchist-liberal who continually disrupts the town's banal busybodies and proselytizing religious nuts. Turns out, Singleton is writing from experience.
