Today is the official publication day for Paris Red, and I received some great news this morning: the book is a “pick” for Publishers Weekly “Books of the Week”!

Paris Red is part of a list that includes Toni Morrison’s God Help the Child, Sue Roe’s Montmartre: Picasso, Matisse and the Birth of Modernist Art, and Kate Bolick’s Spinster: Making a Life of One’s Own and other books. You can see the complete list here.

It’s tremendous news for a Monday and is a great pub day present.
