Fiction
In this haunting bestseller, the chief suspect in a Chicago murder is a woman whose memories are filtered through the shadowy mazes of Alzheimer's. Artfully constructed from fractured recollections, this stunning narrative slowly reveals a shared truth behind complicated lives.
Alice LaPlante
David Darby is trying to hold it together after the unexpected death of his wife, while his son, The Kid, is facing problems of his own -- and hasn't spoken in almost a year. Alternating between the troubled, bewildered voices of father and son, O'Connor's deft prose is unforgettable.
Scott O'Connor
Told in crisp, unsparing prose and suffused with compassion, these revelatory stories unfold while the residents of a small American town struggle at the intersection of survival and sorrow, loneliness and faith, escape and retribution -- and create a living, breathing world of their own.
Alan Heathcock
Nonfiction
Part exploration of Middle Eastern food and culture, part meditation on reporting from (and surviving in) war zones, and part memoir of a marriage, this fiercely intelligent, beautifully written narrative is an intimate story of everyday survival under extraordinary circumstances.
Annia Ciezadlo
This irreverent, often poignant memoir is the story of a New York schoolteacher (and kosher vegetarian) posted to rural China with the Peace Corps and thrown head-first into the complexities and contradictions of a China that Westerners don't often see reflected in the news media.
Michael Levy
This vivid, unconventional memoir recounts a young composer's winning battle against cancer. In aggressive, vibrant prose punctuated by pages from journals (his own and his mother's) and his father's scrapbooks, [sic] intertwines reflections on music, literature, art, and illness.
