Self by Lynne Tillman, using Blackberry

About the book, and a letter from the publisher

Dear Reader,

This is a Red Lemonade book, also available in all reasonably possible formats — limited artisan-produced editions, in trade paperback editions, and in all current digital editions, as well as online at the Red Lemonade publishing community: http://redlemona.de

A word about this community. Over my years in publishing,

I learned that a publisher is the sum of all its constituent parts: yes and above all the writers, and yes, the staff, but also all the people who read our books, talk about our books, support our authors, and those who want to be one of our authors themselves.

So I started a company called Cursor, designed to make these constituent parts fit better together, into a proper community where, finally, we could be greater than the sum of the parts. The Red Lemonade publishing community is the first of these and there will be more to come — for the current roster of communities, see the Cursor website at http://thinkcursor.com.

For more on how to participate in the Red Lemonade publishing community, including the opportunity to share your thoughts about this book, read what others have to say about it, to learn more about Lynne Tillman and her novels all of which we now have back in print, as well as to share your own manuscripts with fellow writers, readers, and the Red Lemonade editors, go to the Red Lemonade website: http://redlemona.de.

Also, we want you to know that these sites aren’t just for you to find out more about what we do, they’re places where you can tell us what you do, what you want, and to tell us how we can help you. Only then can we really have a publishing community be greater than the sum of its parts.

Let me also note the following editorial credits. I edited and copy-edited this book with the assistance of Anne Horowitz. Daniel Schwartz proofread it. Matthew Chase Whittemore prepared this eBook file.

Regards,

Richard Nash

Publisher
