A glowing NYTBR review for Padgett Powell's INDIGO, out today from Catapult

INDIGO: Arm Wrestling, Snake Saving, and Some Things in Between, the very first nonfiction collection by the inimitable Padgett Powell, is out today from Catapult.

In a glowing review of the collection for The New York Times Book Review, Christian Lorentzen writes, “Powell seems to me . . . a champion in the shadows, a rare creature, a delicious hybrid--and a major American writer . . .The volume's 18 essays span four decades and are unified by his unmistakable voice, which in turn makes Indigo of a piece with his works of fiction . . .The prose keeps you going through the pages of Indigo, whatever the subject matter . . .Thank you, Padgett Powell.”

Padgett recently took part in a Q&A with Lit Hub to talk more about INDIGO, which the site also called one of “19 new books to get at your local indie this week.”
