The Day the Sun Died
Yan Lianke
@RickAmicon @bartlebytaco @_ryanruby_ @JackHoughteling @JenLouiseWilson Really can’t go wrong with anything from any of them. If I had to choose just one: The Day The Sun Died by Yan Lianke

Liberation Day: Stories
George Saunders
I needed Lewis Nordan’s writing when I was younger. This mix of beauty and horror. A master of juxtaposition. Between Wolf Whistle and his short stories, feels like Mississippi George Saunders. And scenic beauty all over the place. https://t.co/WE5eAQkNxP

The Logos
Mark de Silva
Started reading The Logos by Mark De Silva last night. Entranced. Read this book if an artist walking around, making art, and noticing stuff is your thing. Something great on every page. And there are a thousand pages. https://t.co/lLzD9wkrkL

Libertie
Kaitlyn Greenidge

The Last Samurai
Helen DeWitt
Come hang! We’ll probably talk about my two current Ending obsessions. Mount Chicago by Adam Levin and The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt. And, of course, Sula and Denis Johnson. https://t.co/5qHnSrXgMk

The Moviegoer
Walker Percy
Gonna start tweeting things like “The Moviegoer by Walker Percy is not a serious book” or “The only serious MacArthur list was ‘88 when Charles Burnett, Naomi Pierce, Max Roach, AND Thomas Pynchon won.” Gonna melt my brain. Watch this space.
