Molly Odintz Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Molly Odintz

This book will blow your mind!!!! It kind of felt like a Marvel movie, but like, one that’s actually good! Pace’s amnesiac heroine, locked up in a mental institution and subjected to strange experimental procedures, must escape her padded prison and find out what exactly she’s forgotten...

Molly Odintz

A visceral, knowing exploration of human misery and the ways we fail ourselves. Also, I’ve never seen a better description of my own attitude towards dating (which should….probably worry me)...My god, this book is good.

Molly Odintz

The City Between the Bridges is just full of filth and cynicism, the perfect combination for depicting the late 18th century and its terrible iniquities... Dag is particularly adept at savagely ripping the notion of a “civilized age” apart and showing the raw suffering underneath.

@JoyceCarolOates Didn't Henry Miller set it up so a different friend was feeding him each night of the week? I think I remember that from Tropic of Cancer...

Do What Godmother Says is both a prescient critique of artistic appropriation and a darn good mystery—in short, an immensely satisfying read.

Molly Odintz

I’m such a huge fan of Riley Sager’s gleefully plotted thrillers, where classic tropes are both honored and reinvented, and in this new one, Sager is at the top of his game.

For those who enjoyed Yuri Hererra’s account of Mexican hero Benito Juarez’s time in New Orleans, here’s another tale of revolutionary exile: Trotsky in NYC! Robert Littel is the perfect person to take on this daunting task without sacrificing story

If you enjoyed John Green’s Paper Towns, but always wanted to read a book about ghost maps written for adults and that actually made sense, then The Cartographers is the book for you!...what is sure to be one of the cleverest mysteries of the year.

Molly Odintz

In this speculative thriller, a revolutionary technique has allowed those who wish to erase any memories they choose...I love big question thrillers, and this one is just as thought-provoking as it is suspenseful.

Everyone loves to hate a theater critic, as theater critic Alexis Soloski knows all too well, and Here in the Dark takes the beloved trope of the murdered critic and gets meta with it.
