A moving adrenaline rush that also manages to be very funny... The ingredients in “Tilt” are familiar ... theater kids in the apocalypse... cutting social observation in the apocalypse.... Shaken together, these ingredients make for a potent cocktail.

This is a story about violence by women, against them and within them... From the jump, we’re told that their drama will end in a violent showdown. The novel watches as they move inexorably toward it... There’s a fire in this novel that its flaws can’t extinguish.

@ninamaclaughlin's Wake, Siren is a hypnotic, provocative, stunning fever dream of a novel, so full of fury and beauty. We're talking on Tuesday at @booksmithtweets and if you're in the Boston area, I hope you'll come! https://t.co/PLxabeTGj8

Just finished reading Susanna Clarke’s Piranesi last night and I would like to read it over and over again forever.

'Tell Me Everything' offers readers an abundance of the searing and plain-spoken insights for which Strout is beloved... Strout is a master at conjuring emotion with a simple palette, at bringing a reader to tears without feeling the least bit manipulated.

Just started Hernan Diaz’s TRUST, and already in awe. Look at this brilliant bit about capital but also, it seems, about writing? https://t.co/UeQzA5nqcD
