Say Hello to My Little Friend
Hilarious in places, poignant in others, this novel is a literary dessert not to miss.
The Covenant of Water
Writing with compassion and insight, Verghese creates distinct characters in Dickensian profusion, and his language is striking; even graphic descriptions of medical procedures are beautifully wrought. Throughout, there are joy, courage, and devotion as well as tragedy; always there is water, the covenant that links all.

When the Mask Slips
In Rizzoli, Ciabattari has created a fun-house mirror, reflecting and distorting the chaotic incongruities that beset his hapless hero. Definitely for fans of absurdist fiction and theater of the absurd, or anyone who just wants a good laugh.
Sugar Street
A story of the desperation and ultimate impossibility of isolation, Dee’s narrative is a spider web of questions that won’t let readers go, questions like where does insanity begin and end? Readers of Dee’s earlier novels will not want to miss this page-turner.
PREMIUM
The Twilight World
A brief but powerful and noteworthy addition to the résumé of a master storyteller; fans of Herzog’s films will see the filmmaker’s cinematic fingerprints all over this absurdist, if absorbing, story.
Bewilderment
Writing with the same remarkable attention to detail found in his Pulitzer Prize–winning The Overstory, Powers has created a world and characters that will suck readers in and keep them fixed until the literally bitter end.
PREMIUM
Girl in the Walls
Gnuse’s writing is certainly artful and bodes well for future efforts, but readers may be puzzled or even annoyed that the work leaves them empty-handed.
PREMIUM
The Guncle
A funny, gentle tale of family and friends, and a salve for the wounds they often cause.
