The Maytrees, Annie Dillard’s new novel, is out. An ever-​expanding list of reviews fol­lows. Annie read a pas­sage of the novel for NPR and talked a little about the book (whose orig­i­nal sub­ti­tle was “A Roman­tic Comedy about Light Pollution”) in a Pub­lish­ers Weekly inter­view. She did another inter­view with the Wash­ing­ton Post’s Daniel Asa Rose. A chap­ter of the book orig­i­nally showed up as “The Two of Them” in the Nov ‘03 Harper’s.
