“… Straub’s novella has the smarts and humor of a Lorrie Moore or a Laurie Colwin or a Laurie Anderson–any number of Lauries. It’s a fish-out-of-water story that slowly transforms into a fish-out-of-the-pond-and-into-the-river story and then, before you realize it, ends and leaves you to guess which way the current is flowing.”

Oxford American Review   -Kevin Brockmeier

“Emma Straub is a wry, witty, incisively observant writer and I was charmed from the first page to the last. Fly-Over State is a smart and memorable story that I will cherish, a great inaugural to a literary career that is full of promise.”

–Dan Chaon, author of Await Your Reply

The first autonomous book by Emma Straub, Fly-Over State is also the first title we’re offering from our New Novella LAUNCH series (learn about it here). Emma’s LAUNCH was so successful that we raised all the money for this project in a single a month of share-selling. Now you can own your very own copy of Fly-Over State, thanks entirely to our wonderful patrons who invested in Mrs. Straub’s career.

Fly-Over State is the story of a young woman who finds herself in an altogether foreign world: Wisconsin. While trying to define her role in both her new marriage and her new town, she looks for friends and confidants anywhere she can. But she didn’t expect to find the next door neighbor’s son, Mud.
