New Title Tuesday | May 3, 2022
Trust by Hernan Diaz
“For all its elegant complexity and brilliant construction, Diaz’s novel is compulsively readable, and despite taking place in the early 1900s, the plot reads like an indictment of the start of the twenty-first century with its obsession with obscure financial instruments and unhinged capital accumulation. A captivating tour de force that will astound readers with its formal invention and contemporary relevance.” —Booklist
My Seven Black Fathers by Will Jawando
“[Jawando] deftly uses his personal story to provide a trenchant structural analysis of how American racism plays out in Black men’s everyday lives. His talent for creating striking imagery and memorable scenes draws readers into his masterfully constructed world. Jawando treats his past self with compassion without ever skirting responsibility for his mistakes." —Kirkus Reviews
Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
"A unique and luminous book." —Booklist
We Do What We Do in the Dark by Michelle Hart
“Hart debuts with a transfixing queer coming-of-age novel about a woman’s affair with a much older professor….. Mallory’s intense interiority and self-consciousness will remind readers of Sally Rooney’s work, and Hart’s prose is delicate and piercing. This is auspicious and breathtaking.” –—Publishers Weekly
Vigil Harbor by Julia Glass
“In her new novel, Julia Glass gathers a combustible cast of characters, places them ten years from now, and strikes a match. Fast-paced, immersive, and imaginatively daring, Vigil Harbor is a brave look at our climate perils, our political moment, and our deep dependence on one another.” —Lily King, author of Writers & Lovers
The Change by Kirsten Miller
“Miller triumphs . . . The Change is that rare treat: a suspenseful story with great pacing, memorable characters, and an engaging voice. Fantastic in every way, this fierce anthem against misogyny is a smash." —Publishers Weekly
Elektra by Jennifer Saint
“Brilliant . . . In alternating chapters, each woman relays her own story and is treated to generous and bold character development . . . The author also does a splendid job managing the timeline, with rich and sustained scenes and seamless jumps. Out of a canonical myth, Saint has built a commanding story of rebellious women.” —Publishers Weekly
Darling Girl by Liz Michalski
“Michalski’s well-constructed second novel extends the world of Peter Pan into a fascinating contemporary drama which dives deeply into themes of aging, generational trauma, and the things parents are willing to do for — or to — their children . . . This dark, magical tale is sure to win fans.” —Publishers Weekly
