Happy New Year! And Happy Pub Day to Me

Rebecca Kelley sitting at the table with a copy of No One Knows Us Here

Happy new year! It’s an exciting day for me—not only is it the first day of the year, it’s the official launch day of my novel No One Knows Us Here, a labor of love that was eight years in the making. It’s also a bittersweet day for me because I know how much my mom would have wanted to live to see it. My #1 fan, she would peddle my last book around to anyone she could. When the ARCs for No On

Quotes by Rebecca Kelley (?)

“She would be like that character in a novel she read once about the woman who rid herself of everything she owned, item by item. She kept paring down, paring down until all she had left could fit in her handbag. Then she walked out the door and left the house behind, too.”
― Rebecca Kelley, Broken Homes & Gardens

“This was Leo Glass in his element. Cocky, sure of himself, parading around in his signature navy-blue hoodie. He owned twenty-six hoodies, each identical to the last.”
― Rebecca Kelley, No One Knows Us Here

“I don’t get it,” I said. “You could go out with anyone. Actresses, models. You’re rich, successful. Good-looking.”

A new day has dawned. In the past, when I would look at the many unread books on my bookshelf, I would remember the scene from Derrida when the interl A new day has dawned. In the past, when I would look at the many unread books on my bookshelf, I would remember the scene from Derrida when the interlocutor asks Derrida whether he has read all the books on his shelves. Derrida’s response is classic: I haven’t read all of them, but the ones I have read I’ve read very well. Eyeing my own plethora of unread books, I would think, “What’s good enough for Derrida is good enough for me.” I've now decided that I can be better than Derrida! [Cue theme music:] No longer will I be concerned with adding to my collection! No longer will I be enslaved to the establishment! I vow to not buy another book until all the heretofore unread ones have been digested! (Unless the new Audrey Niffenegger book comes out. Or a new Harold Bloom. Or something else that I’m highly anticipating. Or I happen to be walking by Powells, stroll in, glance at the new used arrivals, and see a book that looks interesting.) Ok, who am I kidding? I can’t swear off buying books altogether, but I WILL curb this tendency and devote myself to what I already own. But wait! There’s more! I pledge to write a comment—possibly an in-depth review but sometimes just a pithy remark—about every book I complete. That’s not all! You might just get lucky, because if I read a book and don’t like it (and don’t want to put it aside for further review), I will offer it up to a goodreads friend. You may be wondering, “What if more than one person wants that book?” Well, I’ve thought of everything, my friends; when necessary, these contests will be decided by a ferocious game of rock/paper/scissors. Join me on my quest to read every book I already own! This could have worldwide philosophical, theological, and ecological implications! You either can participate vicariously through me or embark on a quest of your own. My own personal gains will be twofold: I will save money AND I will clear out some rubble (I have a sense that my copy of the portable Henry James is gone). ...more
