Getting my hands on the good stuff
January 17, 2013 § 1 Comment
There’s a lot coming out in 2013 that I want to read. Some of the books are receiving wall-to-wall plaudits already (Tenth of December by George Saunders). In no particular order, here’s a selection of books I’m looking forward to in the first half of this year:
France Daigle, For Sure
Nicholas Royle, First Novel
Lisa Moore, Caught
Rawi Hage, Carnival
Taiye Selasi, Ghana Must Go
Meg Wolitzer, The Interestings
Zachary Karabashliev, 18% Gray
Sam Byers, Idiopathy
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah
DW Wilson, Ballistics
Sam Lipsyte, The Fun Parts
Rachel Kushner, The Flamethrowers
Helen DeWitt, Your Name Here
Scott Esposito and Lauren Elkin, The End of Oulipo?
Pierre Michon, The Eleven
Owen King, Double Feature
The list could have been a lot, lot longer, but all that copying and pasting of links eats into good reading time…
I had an email from a Mr. C. Clogs saying that Rawi Hage’s book came out last year in Canada. It’s true, it did.
