"The Fortunate Ones" surprised fiction judge Rachel Khong at every turn. "It's funny, horrifying, and striking--a story after my own heart." Congratulations to Aimee LaBrie for winning The Rumpus Prize in our fiction category! ➡️ buff.ly/MNm5huz

“Something Close to Nothing” by Tom Pyun is a brilliant novel, and I enjoyed learning more about the book and the author last night at Skylight Books. Side note: This is the first book that I’ve ever contributed a blurb (praise quote) to. #books 💙📚

Had a fantastic chat with Tom Pyun about this debut novel. As he told me: "Part of this book is processing my grief over dating in SF. I've lived a lot of places, and it's the worst of any place I've ever lived."

Rumpus Original Fiction: Loss - The Rumpus
I thought about that Chupacabra at the farmhouse, ripping those goats to shreds. He was my fucking hero.
