I've been running through novellas as we continue to set up the house. Last night I read Nghi Vo's excellent When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain and a little more than half of Lee Smith's Blue Marlin.

Vo's novella is the second in a set (which I hope she continues) and Blue Marlin is Smith's latest. I'm personally always excited when Smith publishes something new. We live in the same town and she can frequently be found in a local bookstore here holding court with Allan Gurganus on Friday nights.
