Jan '20 Notable Books: Anna Wiener, Carola Saavedra, Garth Greenwell & More
A monthly series on the most interesting upcoming book releases...
Night Theater - Vikram Paralkar (Jan. 14) - Encompassing social criticism and magically unreal drama, Night Theater is a first novel as satisfying for its existential inquiry as for its enthralling story of a skeptical physician who arrives at a greater understanding of life's miracles.
Cleanness - Garth Greenwell (Jan. 14) - In the highly anticipated follow-up to his beloved debut, What Belongs to You, Garth Greenwell deepens his exploration of foreignness, obligation, and desire.
Uncanny Valley - Anna Wiener (Jan. 14) - Unsparing and incisive, Uncanny Valley is a cautionary tale, and a revelatory interrogation of a world reckoning with consequences its unwitting designers are only beginning to understand.
Little Gods - Meng Jin (Jan. 14) - A story of migrations literal and emotional, spanning time, space and class, Little Gods is a sharp yet expansive exploration of the aftermath of unfulfilled dreams, an immigrant story in negative that grapples with our tenuous connections to memory, history, and self.
The Longing for Less - Kyle Chayka (Jan. 21) - After spending years covering minimalist trends for leading publications, [Kyle Chayka] now delves beneath this lifestyle's glossy surface, seeking better ways to claim the time and space we crave.
Blue Flowers - Carola Saavedra (Jan. 28) - Blue Flowers is a dark portrait of desire, undermining accepted truths about love and sex, violence and fear, men and women.
