Thursday Giveaway: Big Cats

Today’s giveaway is Holiday Reinhorn’s story collection, Big Cats. The first time I read Reinhorn’s work was last year; a fine piece of hers had appeared in the Land-Grant College Review and I liked it quite a bit. When the book came out, I went to hear her read at Powell’s and got my copy. (She’s from Portland, but now lives in L.A.)

Here’s your question of the day: What is the title of Holiday Reinhorn’s story that appeared in Land-Grant? Send your answer, and your mailing address, to llalami AT yahoo DOT com. We here at Moorishgirl.com operate on a first-come first-serve basis.

Update: The winner is Robert S. from Charlotte, NC.

Simplify has been praised by Pam Houston, Aimee Bender, Dan Chaon, and the LA Weekly, and has been generating some good word of mouth.

To make this giveaway a little more interesting, I’m asking that you answer the following question: “What are the titles of Tod’s first two novels?” The first person to email me with a correct answer wins the book. (Please include your mailing address.)

Update: The winner is Laura C. from Chicago.
