Catalog copy

We Kept the Receipts is a novel by Denise Pell, forthcoming from GenX Press.

She can find the receipt for the answering machine. She can find the coupon for the coat. She cannot find the sentence for why she stayed through the year the mall job was the real income. The accordion file is complete. The marriage is a folder with the tab missing.

From the house

Pell is funny in the way of someone who has already done the math. The book trusts the reader to hear the joke without a drummer.
