Emma Straub has to be one of the nicest writers in Brooklyn, but her legendary congeniality is not the only reason I chose Other People We Married for my staff pick. I hear she makes a mean tray of brownies, but more than that, her writing is elegant, well-developed, relatable, and gently probing. I was romanced by the clout of these stories, and I am appreciative that a wonderful young writer, and fellow bookseller, could deliver such a poignant collection (and maybe a plate of cookies?)
