After the runaway success of Room, Emma Donoghue is returning this October with a collection of stories, Astray (Little, Brown). Like her (amazing) earlier collection, The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits, the stories in Astray are all based on real historical factoids,
Donoghue describes the book on her site as “a sequence of stories about travel (from the seventeenth century to the twentieth)”—are you looking forward to the journey?

I have yet to read Room (it’s waiting for me on my to-be-read list!)- I wasn’t aware she had a short story collection already. I love short stories (for many reasons).
I look forward to reading Room!
You should try Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits while you’re waiting—it’s really wonderful.
That sounds fantastic! I really enjoyed Room, and I love travel. I can’t wait to see what she’s come up with!
Love the cover, too
It is a nice cover, isn’t it?
