Cyclorama
Adam Langer
#Cyclorama, which @Kirkus calls "a somber warning about the insidious consequences of hatred," takes shape as suburban teens search for a role in "The Diary of Anne Frank"—the school play. It's the latest from #JoyceCarol OatesPrize longlisted author @Adam_Langer. Congrats, Adam! https://t.co/GERi2GwDZp

Água Viva
Clarice Lispector
Our Simpson Fellows are full of book rec's, and Naima said: "I don't read for pleasure all that often, but when I do it involves returning to something that contains joy as fierce as its anguish. Clarice Lispector's "Água Viva" is one that sings unapologetically." https://t.co/sFHpRd1TRo
