I interviewed @mcrane_12 about their splendid I KEEP MY EXOSKELETONS TO MYSELF for the @latimesbooks. We talked about grief, guilt, and our culture’s need to punish. It was terrific to talk with them. https://t.co/0vMwXKnAfj

@JamesTateHill If you’re still looking, I can recommend @ErinSwan Walk the Vanished Earth; Jess Row, The New Earth, and Stephen Markley, The Deluge. All feature multiple POV, climate fiction, and family dynamics set in present/near future.

Telephone may be Everett’s most audacious novel, but the risks he takes in the narrative pay off in remarkable ways. The book begins with a tripartite plot… on a trail that tempts the traveler into believing that choosing one of the trails will lead to a different outcome....

@TheBookMaven I can’t stop talking about this @Tin_House book coming in May. Jane Wong, MEET ME TONIGHT IN ATLANTIC CITY. Fantastic memoir that probes at the wounds of racism in America and features glorious writing. https://t.co/0Lb09Y5fFH

@lacymjohnson In addition to these great suggestions, I also loved MIRACLE COUNTRY by Kendra Atleework, a memoir of the Owens Valley in California.

Set in a city diminished by plague and a poisonous algae bloom, the narrator focuses her attention on her remaining relationships. In writing about the ways folks hold together during difficult times, Trías untangles the myths and realities of resilience.

A measure of Howsare’s power as a guide is how it clarified my feelings about deer... Understanding the ways these heroes of the human age have adapted to change may very well help us survive our own era of overabundance.

I reviewed @donwinslow CITY ON FIRE, a terrific retelling of the Aeneid as Rhode Island gangster tale. It works on multiple levels, and it reveals that artificial borders weaken us.

@TheBookMaven @penfaulkner I’m reading the Ariel Dorfman novel that comes out in September. THE SUICIDE MUSEUM is a novel about a writer named Ariel Dorfman who goes back to Chile to investigate Salvador Allende’s death. I’m fully immersed.

Brilliantly portrays 2020s America... Senna's humor mixes with her deep understanding of cultural foibles and the human heart to produce a novel that is simultaneously a laugh-out-loud cultural comedy and a riveting novel of ideas... Senna turns what could have been heavy into a celebratory triumph filled with joy and love.
