A frequent contributor to both \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e as well as the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003ePure Drivel\u003c\/i\u003e, Martin is once again poised to capture the attention of readers with his debut novella, a delightful depiction of life and love.
