Madeline Miller Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Madeline Miller

You can’t just have unrelenting misery. That doesn’t really reflect human experience. Even in incredibly hard times, there’s always the wryness, the absurdity, the fun. So I love the richness of the tapestry that [Ephron] weaves in, and I try to bring that into my own work.

Great book recs from a great bookstore! I was lucky enough to read AMERICAN MERMAID early. Funny, sharp, and gripping all the way. https://t.co/GtQEWTchYd

Today I started reading William Maxwell's SO LONG, SEE YOU TOMORROW for the first time. A beautiful, piercing book.

So excited that the @FolgerLibrary is reading one of my favorite Shakespeare adaptations, THE LAST TRUE POETS OF THE SEA, for their virtual book club! It's a brilliant and delightful modern retelling of Twelfth Night by @JuliaDrake__ . https://t.co/WzjzDyDgc4

It’s an incredibly powerful novel, with the lyrical intensity of a poem. It reminds me of what books can do at their best.

I cannot wait to read LUSTER by Raven Leilani, which I ordered from the award-winning @astoriabookshop, run by book warrior @lexiatwork. I am also so excited to read THE NIGHT WATCHMAN by Louise Erdrich. You can get a signed copy from her bookstore, @birchbarkbooks.
