New Title Tuesday | August 2, 2022
Alias Emma by Ava Glass
“Superb . . . Intense, cinematic action propels this terrific old-fashioned thriller neatly brought up to date. Glass is off to an impressive start.” —Publishers Weekly
Shutter by Ramona Emerson
“Emerson’s striking debut follows a Navajo police photographer almost literally to hell and back . . . A whodunit upstaged at every point by the unforgettably febrile intensity of the heroine’s first-person narrative.”—Kirkus Reviews
Mothercare by Lynne Tillman
“An unsparing and heart-wrenching exploration of serious illness and its impact on everyone it touches.” —Kirkus Reviews
Dangerous Rhythms by T. J. English
“This brilliant and courageous book lays bare an underside of our great American classical music — jazz — we must reckon with. Don’t miss it!” —Dr. Cornel West
All This Could Be Different by Sarah Thankam Mathews
“Mathews can be deeply moving at the same time that she is funny; she dips into slang in a way that feels lyrical and rhythmic . . . beautifully written, lusciously felt, and marvelously envisioned. Resplendent with intelligence, wit, and feeling.”—Kirkus Reviews
Acceptance by Emi Nietfeld
“A complex meditation on desperation, leveraging personal pain, and how the drive to achieve can be a gift and a pathology simultaneously. . . . A powerful memoir of overcoming adversity that also effectively interrogates the concept of meritocracy.” —Kirkus Reviews
How to Fall Out of Love Madly by Jana Casale
“Casale has again taken the detritus of women’s inner lives — the things we wished had never happened, the thoughts we wished we’d never had, the endless self-flagellation about our bodies — and made something funny, warm, and compelling; something sisterly in the finest sense of the word. . . . . Casale is an American Sally Rooney, so smart about friendship and love.”—Kirkus Reviews
The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid
“A brilliantly realized allegory of racial transformation. . . . Hamid’s story is poignant and pointed, speaking to a more equitable future in which widespread change, though confusing and dislocating in the moment, can serve to erase the divisions of old as they fade away with the passing years. A provocative tale that raises questions of racial and social justice at every turn.” —Kirkus Reviews
