Ramona Ausubel’s A GUIDE TO BEING BORN was favorably reviewed in Booklist and Flavorwire, which called the book a “luminous collection.” Booklist raved, “Ausubel is a master stylist of vibrant, concise prose, and these stories, with love most often at their core, can be appreciated for that alone.” Riverhead will publish the book May 2, 2013.
