Taylor Antrim Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Taylor Antrim

A comprehensive, beautifully illustrated and gracefully written resource... a no-waste ethos permeates these many pages with goodwill, humor, and hope. As with all things Adler, the writing is fantastic: expert and unfailingly elegant.

Packed with characters, from a French Canadian scuba pioneer to an AI tycoon who sees sea-steading as an escape from his ravaged body, Playground is ravishing in its descriptions of an underwater universe as fragile as it is ancient and unyielding.​

Taylor Antrim

An act of intimate storytelling... Didion fans (we know who we are) will feel hypnotized by these pages, not quite sure they should exist as a book, but leveled by the writer who produced them, by her honesty and heartbreak.

Taylor Antrim

A hugely entertaining and formidably intelligent tour through the psyche of mostly middle-aged mothers (and a few fathers), moderately content and successful, and still yearning for more. Sittenfeld’s prose has astonishing ease and her fleet, brisk dialogue sparkles with humor...

I am not sure I wholly bought Smith’s conclusion—that the harnessing of virality by the likes of Buzzfeed led to the ubiquity of an increasingly remorseless right wing populism. And yet the argument is made with force and gives this book the shape of a (irresistibly readable) tragedy.

Keane writes in a sturdily realist vein–the vivid, domesticated world of Anne Tyler, of William Trevor, of Elizabeth Strout—but her insights into matters of the heart, longing and restlessness especially, have astonishing delicacy.

Taylor Antrim

Reminiscent of the spare, strobe-lit storytelling of the late Joan Didion, Carpenter shows how wealth and sophistication paper over moral rot and how human attachment is a vulnerability when only posing and posturing keep you alive.

Taylor Antrim

What the ever expanding world of espionage fiction needs, it turns out, is a Yale-educated Millennial field operative who dresses in Weezer t-shirts... a novel as cool as it is accomplished, that knits together action, tradecraft and quippy dialogue with flair.

Taylor Antrim

An ardent fan letter from Hornby that makes you want to re-read Great Expectations while listening to Sign o’ the Times. This slim, companionable volume combines biography... as it champions the creative impulse to always make more: more novels, more songs.
