Huge congrats to @Morgan_J_Talty on winning @bookcritics' Leonard Prize for his stunning début, "Night of the Living Rez." Re-upping @OprahDaily's exclusive excerpt from last year: https://t.co/EojPZ6BAhx

Enríquez unflinchingly regards the pain of others ... Feels as vivid and essential as Kafka’s tales. Considered by many to be a Nobel contender, Enríquez is surely on a path to Stockholm.

Once in a blue moon a debut novel comes along, announcing a voice quite unlike any other, with a layered story and sentences that crackle and pop, begging to be read aloud. Aria Aber’s splendid Good Girl introduces just such a voice.

Jonathan Franzen's sumptuous "Crossroads" is not only about the implosion of a Midwestern pastor's family in 1971, it's also a novel in conversation with other literary works, including the Old Testament's "Ecclesiastes." My review for @OprahDaily: https://t.co/tW7Tsq0iso

Nobody writes like her, those lissome lines and abundance of commas. She’s one of the few who can pull off tell-don’t-show ... An alluring addition to an oeuvre whose works are larger on the inside than the outside, rendered in glittering sentences.
