Waiting on Wednesday: Jan. 11

For the Waiting on Wednesday blog meme:

We Only Know So Much by Elizabeth Crane (due from Harper in 2012): Crane is an exquisite stylist. She crafts sentences that curve around themselves like an avatar looking for treasure in Zork. I've read her short-story collections When the Messenger is Hot and You Must Be This Happy to Enter (the latter among the top 10 great book titles I posted last year). I've been waiting for a book from her for a long time, and now I learn that she's coming to the plate in June.
