Well, people find love and comfort in all sorts of different ways, and leave it to Sagging Meniscus Press— this week's sponsor, and our favorite publisher of the unexpected — to bring us a metaphysical reflection on human nature, deception, and the tender friendship between a man and his horse.

Joshua Kornreich's Horsebuggy is a dark little surprise and joy, blackly funny in the vein of The Sisters Brothers. It's the sort of book where everything leads to its logical conclusion — and nothing is more ridiculous and bleak than human nature allowed to run its course. The excerpt Sagging Meniscus is sharing as part of their sponsorship is startling and addictive. Check it out on our sponsor feature page, then buy the book and give up on whatever else you planned today.

You're part of the best book city in the world, and we want everyone to know who you are. Grab one of the last sponsorship slots left this spring and put your book, event, retreat, or class in front of our readers. We'd love to see you in this space.
