A Life in Light by Mary Pipher
“For psychologist Pipher, the light found in nature, caring relationships, work, and books has always been the key to happiness. In this beautifully written memoir, her memories of childhood in Nebraska are vivid and poignant. . . . This lovely book teaches gentle lessons on gratitude and celebrating life.” ―Booklist
X by Davey Davis
“Davis delivers an astonishing speculative tale of sex, power, and gender . . . Vivid and witty, Davis’s prose hurtles between moments of beauty and darkness, often in the same breath . . . This one hits hard." —Publishers Weekly
The Bartender's Cure by Wesley Straton
“Charming . . . Stuffed with trivia and lore…This illuminating paean to mixology is best read at your favorite bar or with ingredients nearby.” —Kirkus Reviews
Rogues by Patrick Radden Keefe
“A new book by Keefe means drop everything and close the blinds; you’ll be turning pages for hours. Rogues is a collection of Keefe’s New Yorker articles about criminals and con artists and more. It’s highly entertaining, of course, but what shines through most brightly is Keefe’s fascination with what makes us human even when we’re at our most imperfect.” —Los Angeles Times
The Angel of Rome by Jess Walter
“Jess Walter is as talented a natural storyteller as is working in American fiction these days . . . These stories have both zip and heart, muscle and soul.” —Washington Post
Thrust by Lidia Yuknavitch
“Yuknavitch is interested in the way the bodies of immigrants, refugees, and marginalized people have been the fodder used to keep the American project going — and her humane love for those same bodies shines. . . . Complex, ambitious, and unafraid to earnestly love — and critique — America and its most dearly held principles.” —Kirkus Reviews
The Scent of Burnt Flowers by Blitz Bazawule
“In a transportive debut set in the mid-1960s, Ghanaian artist Bazawule charts the fallout of the violent confrontation of an African American couple by a racist gang. . . . Bazawule nails the atmosphere, loading it with cultural details on everything from palm wine to Highlife music. It’s an engaging . . . period piece.” —Publishers Weekly
