![]() Loved the thing about the human thigh as pudding with a spoonbone, that drew me in. I hope you’re all well as time continues to move us through these stressful times. I still need to catch up on the last couple of stories, and I will do that, but I’m also going to start this one as soon as I am able after work today. It’s also relatively long (nearly double the length of story we’ve been getting). So here we have something we’ve never read from Katherine Dunn! I am very excited. You can read some of the details in Deborah Treisman’s interview with Naomi Huffman here. “The Resident Poet” is part of that collection. MCG/FSG is also publishing a collection of her short stories in 2022. From its description it doesn’t seem to be related at all to The Cut Man. A novel, Toad, is coming from MCD/FSG in 2021. However, it does look like we will get more from Dunn. I’m not sure we will ever see that book in any form. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then in 2010 it seemed like the release was imminent when I enjoyed the excerpt that appeared in The Paris Review. I remember in 2009 hearing that The Cut Man was going to be released that September, but that didn’t happen. Sadly, this was before she finished her long anticipated novel The Cut Man, which she first said she was working on back in 1989 when Geek Love was published. Katherine Dunn, best known around these parts as the author of Geek Love, died in 2016. ![]()
