Liquid: A Love Story
Heady and intellectual yet sexy and deeply felt in its explorations of loss, identity, and relationships, this is fiction that brings theory into practice in a romantic comedy of sorts that will leave readers thinking about much more than Jane Austen’s truth universal.
The Wildes: A Novel in Five Acts
It’s hard to imagine anyone doing this sort of imaginative historical reconstruction better than Bayard, who did it superbly once before in Jackie & Me. A sometimes elegiac but mostly tragic recreation of one of the great what-ifs of literary history. Readers will find it difficult to put down.
PREMIUM
Old Crimes: And Other Stories
Great short story writers encapsulate and distill the experience and emotions of a character in what amounts to a mini-novel. McCorkle demonstrates why she is considered a virtuoso of the form. This new collection will not disappoint her bevy of fans and may introduce some new readers to her flock of followers.
Slow Noodles: A Cambodian Memoir of Love, Loss, and Family Recipes
A stunning memoir, spiced with delectable and occasionally devastating recipes. This is unmissable.
A Grandmother Begins the Story
Highly recommended, especially for fans of stories of generational relations and the connections between women. The tender, tough, funny, and heartbreaking voices of the characters will seep into readers’ souls.
PREMIUM
Pockets: An Intimate History of How We Keep Things Close
This erudite, enjoyable book about pockets delivers.
PREMIUM
Distant Sons
This disturbing but ultimately redeeming story may remind detective-fiction aficionados of Thomas H. Cook’s Mortal Memory. Like Cook, Johnston writes with care for what words mean and how they hit. An exceptional novel.
Naked: On Sex, Work, and Other Burlesques
A titillating, insightful essay collection. This standout title will attract both fans of literary nonfiction and readers interested in performance or sexuality studies. Those looking for other bold, witty essays may also enjoy Quietly Hostile by Samantha Irby.
