The Fates Will Find Their Way
Kathleen Rooney
For You, For You I Am Trilling These Songs
In her debut novel, DePaul University instructor Hannah Pittard explores the effect that a 16-year-old girl’s disappearance has on her close-knit neighborhood and the boys who went to school with her. Spinning the possibilities of what happened in vivid detail, Pittard keeps the reader guessing which version, if any, is the girl’s true fate. Kathleen Rooney’s funny and charming collection of essays, For You, For You I Am Trilling These Songs details twenty-something life in the twenty-first century including, among other things, plagiarizing, entering convents, and transporting U.S. Senators.
