Lauren Fox | Days of Awe (Vintage Contemporaries)
“The things we love when we’re twenty, we replace them with things that weigh more, that require care and feeding: the things we are obliged to love.”
BOOKS
Martin Clark | The Jezebel Remedy (Vintage Contemporaries)
Clark’s prose is clear and inviting, sometimes strikingly poetic.
Corey Stulce and The State of Comedy
In the process of doing research and conducting interviews, Stulce found it surprising how committed they were to a disciplined work ethic.
Don Winslow | The Cartel (Vintage)
“He became his own blues song, a Tom Waits loser, a Kerouac saint.”
Judy Blume | In the Unlikely Event (Vintage)
Underlying it all is the love these characters have: for one another, for living, for making better futures for themselves.
Dexter Palmer | Version Control (Pantheon)
Philip has created a causality violation device, which is a fancy way of saying “time machine.”
Lucas Mann | Lord Fear (Vintage Books)
Why write a book about Josh? What was is about his life that made him deserve such a tribute?
Thomas McGuane | Crow Fair (Vintage Books)
Two things were soon apparent: McGuane is a talented writer, and I had trouble relating to his characters.
Jonathan Lee | High Dive (Alfred A. Knopf)
It is no exaggeration to say High Dive has already become one of my all-time favorite books.
David Kaczynski | Every Last Tie: The Story of the Unabomber and His Family (Duke University Press)
If you think the book devotes far too little attention to the Unabomber himself, you’re right.
