Two for Texas

Two items popped up this week from the grizzled weird part of Texas: first, Tobias Carroll interviewed Robert Freeman Wexler, Skulls, Detectives, and the Texas Surreal in Vol. 1 Brooklyn (“There’s a point early on in Robert Freeman Wexler‘s novel The Silverberg Business where you might have an idea of where things are heading. . . .”) then Vick Mickunas’s WYSO Christmas Day interview popped up online — although I think the audio file will actually appear in a day or two.

 


SBP BS Bestsellers

2022 was an odd year for the press. I am working at 1/4-speed, we published fewer books and while we did 2 issues of LCRW the mailing has been delayed into the new year as the Book Moon peeps are doing inventory.

In BookScan news — the BS above — here are our top 14 bestsellers of 2022. I imagine many readers of this post will have read a good number of the books on this list. Sometimes our books hit right away (In Other Lands), sometimes they grow and grow (North American Lake Monsters), sometimes they go away and come back (Travel Light). 

2023 will be a good book year. Looking forward to it.
