Are you ready for the Iowa City Book Festival? Make sure to visit our table on
Saturday, October 12. We’ll be selling our own books, as well as books from
presses around the Midwest. Don’t miss the chance to buy Butter: A Novel, by
Anne Panning, from the Northern Illinois University Press. Butter is a
coming-of-age story about an eleven-year-old named Iris who learns she’s not
only adopted but also that her parents' marriage isn’t as stable as she once
thought.
Praise for Butter
“Anne
Panning is one of the most underrated writers in America. Butter, with its irresistible young
narrator, confirms her gift for making storytelling look easy. The book reminds
me in many ways of Mary Karr’s The
Liar’s Club, Tony Earley’s Jim
the Boy, and Jeannette Wall’s The
Glass Castle. Quickly engrossing and full in its emotive texture, this
expertly crafted novel is disarming, innovative, and unforgettable.”—Nancy
