The Testaments
Margaret Atwood
The Federalist ran my review of The Testaments, Margaret Atwood's sequel to The Handmaid's Tale. It's queasiness and uncertainty suits our current age of anxiety https://t.co/ui4oejZdGU

The It Girl
Ruth Ware
My review of Ruth Ware's "The It Girl," her latest female-centered psychological thriller, at The Federalist. I find Ware hit or miss but this one is mostly a hit. https://t.co/XGvBpvt5G1

Sequoia Nagamatsu
The Federalist ran my review of "How High We Go in the Dark," Sequoia Nagamatsu's tender -- maybe too tender -- apocalypse novel. https://t.co/IgVlWnKbn6

Ready Player Two
Ernest Cline
My take on "Ready Player Two" Ernest Cline's followup to his 2011 smash "Ready Player One." But it's "a surfeit of pop culture sweets that goes down like Pop Rocks and Coca-Cola, with nauseating results." https://t.co/ApBp1x3CDp

Station Eleven: A Novel (National Book Award Finalist)
Emily St John Mandel
My latest fiction review for The Federalist. The author of "Station Eleven" has another affecting, poignant speculative-fiction take on tragedy and time, "showing Mandel’s flair at conjuring up the essential contingency of life." https://t.co/aBVem6vVHl
