Jul '20 Notable Books: Adam Wilson, Asako Serizawa, Carlos Fonseca & More
A monthly series on the most interesting upcoming book releases...
Lake Life - David James Poissant (Jul. 7) - A sweeping, domestic novel about a family that reunites at their North Carolina lake house for one last vacation before the home is sold—and the long-buried secrets that are finally revealed.
Sensation Machines - Adam Wilson (Jul. 7) - An endlessly twisty novel of big ideas, Sensation Machines is a brilliantly observed human drama that grapples with greed, automation, universal basic income, revolutionary desires, and a broken justice system.
Natural History - Carlos Fonseca (Jul. 14) - Natural History is the portrait of a world trapped between faith and irony, between tragedy and farce.
Utopia Avenue - David Mitchell (Jul. 14) - David Mitchell's new novel tells the unexpurgated story of Utopia Avenue; of riots in the streets and revolutions in the head; of drugs, thugs, madness, love, sex, death, art; of the families we choose and the ones we don't; of fame's Faustian pact and stardom's wobbly ladder.
Inheritors - Asako Serizawa (Jul. 14) - Spanning more than 150 years, and set in multiple locations in colonial and postcolonial Asia and the United States, Inheritors paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of its characters as they grapple with the legacies of loss, imperialism, and war.
Pew - Catherine Lacey (Jul. 21) - Pew, Catherine Lacey's third novel, is a foreboding, provocative, and amorphous fable about the world today: its contradictions, its flimsy morality, and the limits of judging others based on their appearance.
The Pull of the Stars - Emma Donoghue (Jul. 21) - In The Pull of the Stars, Emma Donoghue once again finds the light in the darkness in this new classic of hope and survival against all odds.
No Presents Please: Mumbai Stories - Jayant Kaikini (Jul. 28) - Translated from the Kannada by Tejaswini Niranjana, these resonant stories [...] take us to photo framers, flower markets, and Irani cafes, revealing a city trading in fantasies while its strivers, eating once a day and sleeping ten to a room, hold secret ambitions close.
