Nathan Englander is featured in NY Times Sunday Routine. He mentions Urban Vintage, one of my favorite writing coffee shops. I can’t wait to read his new book, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank.

“During the week, Nathan Englander, the novelist, short-story writer and soon-to-be playwright, is hypersocial, meeting friends for dinner on a nightly basis. But Sundays are mostly about quality time with his girlfriend, Rachel Silver, who is working on her Ph.D. in educational policy studies, and their gangly puppy, Calli, a Labrador retriever-boxer mix. Mr. Englander, 42, is having a big year professionally: His short-story collection “What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank” will be published by Knopf this week, and his first play, “The Twenty-Seventh Man,” will open at the Public Theater in November. Mr. Englander, a former Upper West Sider who moved to Brooklyn in 2010, spends Sundays with Ms. Silver roaming Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, where they share an apartment.”
