The paperback of my novel ‘40’ is out today from @picadorbooks. I’m super proud of this book, and hope those who haven’t yet will give it a read. It’s available nationwide, so pick up a copy from your favorite bookseller. Cheers!

40 is out today in paperback! From @mcdbooks, 40 is @alanheathcock's American myth of the future: a vision of civil war, spectacle, and disaster of biblical proportions. A dizzyingly fantastical novel told in sharp prose, as cinematic as it is precise. https://t.co/TeDHk1LT6Z

My latest column on the best summer-cocktail in Boise. Tried drinks at nearly 30 establishments. It was hard work, but someone had to do it. Cheers!
