Bug Hollow
Readers of Elizabeth Strout or Mary Gaitskill will love this book. Huneven hits it out of the ballpark again.
An Oral History of Atlantis: Stories
Though these odd creations won’t appeal to everyone, they excite and stir the imagination.
A Shipwreck in Fiji
A lively story with engaging characters and fascinating bits about British colonial governance in Fiji. Rao’s second tale about Sgt. Akal (after A Disappearance in Fiji) is first-rate.
Wagner and the Creation of the Ring
A meaty book that bursts at the seams with substance, it’s held together by the author’s familiarity with the subject and respect for Wagner as a composer.

Theater After Film
Written for an academic audience interested in this slice of theater history.

Grewal-Kök’s wrenching first novel eventually morphs into Kafka redux: there’s no way out, no redemption. It features a startling ending.
PREMIUM
Seesaw Monster
Fans of Haruki Murakami and William Gibson will love this wild, exuberant novel that combines mythology, family drama, espionage, and technology and already has a film adaptation in the works (starring Anne Hathaway and Salma Hayek). It’s fun all the way through.

An unusual novel about contract killing in a world of technology and influencing.
