New Title Tuesday | June 21, 2022


Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh

“Deliriously quirky medieval tale . . . Moshfegh brings her trademark fascination with the grotesque to depictions of the pandemic, inequality, and governmental corruption, making them feel both uncanny and all too familiar. It’s a triumph.” —Publishers Weekly

Learning to Talk by Hilary Mantel

“The stories here enable us the more fully to appreciate Mantel’s wide-ranging gifts . . . . The overall effect of the collection is of a palimpsest, the powerfully atmospheric evocation of an unhappy mid-twentieth-century childhood in northern England.” —Claire Messud, Harper’s Magazine

When the Moon Turns to Blood by Leah Sottile

“This book, wide in scope and remarkable for its timeliness, is a riveting account of the entire case (which is currently awaiting trial), including an exquisitely researched history of LDS and its fringe offshoots." —Booklist       

The Catch by Alison Fairbrother

“This big-hearted debut absolutely crackles with smarts — the sentences are crisp, the story unfurls, the characters are just right. The Catch is a delightful read about love, loss, and the vulnerability of growing up.” —Emma Straub, author of All Adults Here     

Ways of Being by James Bridle

“An accessible but also technologically precise book . . . [Ways of Being] makes a remarkably compelling case for the universality of reason, the benefits to be reaped by acknowledging it, and the urgent need to do so given the reality of looming ecological collapse . . . A provocative, profoundly insightful consideration of forms of reason and their relevance to our shared future.” —Kirkus Reviews
