Kudos to the winners of the 2022 Kirkus Prize! Esp. psyched to see the graphic novel Himawari House (@01FirstSecond) by Harmony Becker won for Young Readers’ Literature; we reviewed it in our Spring 2022 issue and featured the author in our 2021 #TCBF. https://t.co/MqHomXQNZk

Neat little primer on Charles Dickens by @RobynVinter at @GuardianBooks. (Fun fact, in the first of his appearances in the Rain Taxi Reading Series, George Saunders said “A Christmas Carol” is his favorite novel ever!) https://t.co/XrayhsyB44

The stories in Jane Campbell's debut book "Cat Brushing" (@groveatlantic) feed empathy, ask uneasy questions, and jilt the denial of mortality. New review by J. Van in our Winter Online Edition: https://t.co/9phcaxB9QG #bookreview #newfiction #literarycommunity #shortstories

Rain Taxi

Stellar longlist for the National Book Award for Translated Literature—happy to see "A New Name" (written by Jon Fosse, translated by Damion Searls, published by @transitbooks) on there, it’s reviewed in our current print issue! https://t.co/Kkl5Zb8nNs #bookreview @nationalbook

The Irish Times called Jessica Nordell’s “The End of Bias” (@MetropolitanBks) “a gripping survey of the science of prejudice against the backdrop of racial and gender discrimination.” Don't miss Jessica in our MN Author Mashup this #TCBF! https://t.co/HXTJX3UPUv @jessnordell
