The meowing over “Cat Person†continues. In a move that feels like a Girls subplot, Kristen Roupenian, the debut writer of The New Yorker’s viral short story about online dating, has scored a book deal. Based on the success of “Cat Person,†according to The Hollywood Reporter, Simon & Schuster imprint Scout Press has offered Roupenian a two-book deal. The first will be the short-story collection You Know You Want This (a title that is curiously not already a Taylor Swift song), and the other book will be a novel.

You Know You Want This will “explore the complex — and often dark and funny — connections between gender, sex, and power, across genres.†Expect your feed to erupt over the collection when it’s released in spring 2019.
