Blake Butler’s Knotty Novel Is Back, Retitled

Void Corporation, Blake Butler’s new novel, isn’t new. He already published it under a different title, Alice Knott, in 2020. You’d be forgiven for being confused. Butler’s popular — and wrenching — 2023 memoir, Molly, was a breakthrough, for him and his indie publisher, Archway Editions. Now, with Void Corporation boasting the new title and some eye-catching cover art (a Seymour Rosofsky nightmare landscape has replaced George Ault’s coffee-table flowers), publisher and author hope to connect new fans with the older book.
