Pleasing Hour debut by Lily King draws publishers’ bidding rush
Lily King’s The Pleasing Hour follows an American au pair in Paris who enters a French family’s emotional life. Critics compare it to James and Austen, sparking a near six-figure paperback deal and a Discover Great New Writers award recognition. King, 35, balances teaching and motherhood while noting the novel is not autobiographical. Rosie, the heroine, moves into the Tivots’ world, unfolds family tensions, and confronts past infertility issues that haunt her.

Die-hard poets keep art alive in St. Joseph
Colleen M. Dorsey profiles St. Joseph poets who have maintained a resilient, evolving scene since 1986. From classroom readings to street venues, the group found a home at Paper Moone Bookstore, later displaced, and now meet in Robidoux Row basement, relying on freewill donations. The circle blends blue-collar and published writers, sharing open mike readings, feedback, and local imagery while opposing poetry slams and supporting varied ages and backgrounds.
