The Subsidiary | Matias Celedon
post image
Pickpick

An inventive and visually dazzling novel. In the office of a Latin American corporation, lights cut out, phones cut out, doors lock. A voice crackles over the PA: Stay at your work stations. The narrator of this novel does just that, recording what happens next with the only tools he has: rubber stamps.

Dear Mr. M: A Novel | Herman Koch
post image

Just got this in the store today, but we can't put it out on the floor for a few days! Very anticipated with our customers. Who's read it? What did you all think?

Dogearedcopy I read an ARC and loved it! The plot is a lot more focused/sharper than "Summer House" and moved faster too! There were some odd tangential/digressive passages in the ARC that might not be in the final; but even if they are, they aren't deal breakers ? 8y

Rockabilly sensibility stirred with Kill Bill plot lines. Fun, violent, and absolutely over the top. Love the art, love all of it!

Underground Airlines | Ben Winters
post image

This novel paints a picture of present-day United States with a big catch: the Civil War was never fought, and slavery continues in some states. A young black bounty hunter is on the trail of a runaway slave when his case – and the country – start coming apart.

This volume traces the evolution of Rich's poetry, from her formallly-precise early work to her later work, which became increasingly radical in both form and content. It includes the National Book Award–winning Diving Into the Wreck and her prize-winning Atlas of the Difficult World. Introduction by Claudia Rankine.

Recommend sections for this book are MYSTERY and ARCHITECTURE and I don't know if I can think of another book that would also be true for. Non-fiction about the urban considerations of breaking and entering.
