The Overstory
Richard PowersRichard Power’s magisterial work is, ultimately, about being unable to see the forest for the trees. Except in this case, it’s human beings who are the trees, and trees that are the forest. Don’t worry; this isn’t an environmental polemic. Or maybe it is, but you’ll be far too engrossed in the writing to notice.
The Mars Room: A Novel
Rachel KushnerKushner is a national treasure. Her newest book lurks in gritty San Francisco strip clubs and grim prison cells, but is alive with wit and humanity. A must-read for fans of “The Flamethrowers,” as well as readers of Denis Johnson.
