Oprah’s book club…
Oprah loves this book. She says it’s one of the best books she’s ever read. It’s in her top five of all time! She loves it so much, she picked it to kick off her revamped Oprah Book Club this fall. In his first novel, Ta-Nehisi Coates, known for his National Book Award-winning memoir “Between the World and Me,” and his powerful collection of essays “We Were Eight Years in Power,” conjures up an enthralling story that soars with suspense, tragedy, and fantasy, all the while grounded by the love of family.
Nobel Prize Winner…
Author Olga Tokarczuk won the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2018 (just announced in October 2019) for what the Swedish Academy calls “a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life.” Her novel “Flights” is a philosophical read with a focus on travel, more invested in sharing the disparate stories of dozens of people than on following the exploits of one central protagonist.
Book club pick…
“Good Morning America” has launched a book club this October called Cover to Cover, and the first pick (selected by Robin Roberts) is “Dominicana” by Angie Cruz. Set in the political turmoil of the 1960s, this vibrant coming-of-age novel explores the propulsive forces behind immigration. When 15-year-old Ana’s parents marry her off to a man twice her age, she leaves her home in the Dominican Republic countryside to start a new life in New York, determined to find a way to bring her family over to join her.
New release…
Buckle up, fans of Louise Erdrich and Zora Neale Hurston. Robin Page’s moving debut novel explores the lives of two neighbors haunted by the ghosts of past traumas that send their lives spinning out of control.
Book club pick…
Jenna Bush Hager selected Ann Patchett’s latest novel as her October #ReadWithJenna pick. The book “is a beautiful, dark fairy tale,” Hager said in the announcement post. “I thought it was a beautiful story of a relationship between brother and sister.”
Indigenous Peoples’ Day…
Orange’s debut novel lives up to its hype and features a chorus of different voices, all Native Americans living in Oakland, California. Funny, devastating, thrilling, and smart, “There There” is a vivid, character-driven story with the city itself a character. Born and raised in Oakland, Orange brings the city to life in rich, gritty, loving strokes.
Editor’s pick…
“Inland” is a magical-realism Western full of ghosts and premonitions and the more quotidian cowboy woes of finding water and escaping the sheriff, all laddering into a sort of microcosm of the great American myths. Obreht’s writing is beautiful and eerie: She brings the whisperings of spirits and the desperate thirst of the desert sun to life in equal measure.
New release…
A new, intimate story collection from National Book Award finalist Kate Walbert (“Our Kind”) explores the complicated relationships between mothers and daughters. Sharp, unsettling, and ultimately beautiful, these stories will stick with you long after the last page.
