Sure, it’s a canned saying, “the third time’s the charm,” but all of us faculty members in the English Dept. know how difficult the work of writing and publishing can be and how having one’s words–words long labored over–in print is truly a charmed and earned thing.

That’s why we are elated to hear share the news that Associate Professor Anthony Varallo has done it again. Varallo’s third story collection, Think of Me and I’ll Know, will be published by Northwestern University Press/TriQuarterly Books in Fall 2013.

An excerpt from the title story “Think of Me and I’ll Know” can be read at the Sou’wester literary journal. Congrats, Tony!  We’re looking forward to reading these new stories.
