Scribner Magazine asked me to write a short piece about my writing space, which is known as the dungeon in our house, and provide a picture.

I love the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize longlist and am thrilled that AFTER THE PARADE made it to the shortlist!

And this from PW: “On a sentence-by-sentence level, Ostlund’s prose is unmatched—smart, resonant, and imbued with beauty.”

I love this Booklist (starred) review and especially like how it emphasizes entirely different aspects of the book from other reviews: “In her appealing debut, prizewinning short story writer Ostlund writes with acuity and refreshing honesty about the messy complexity of being a social animal in today’s world, especially when you’re an introspective, sensitive type.” For full review, go here.
