Nov '21 Notable Books: Dave Eggers, Jeff Noon, László Krasznahorkai & More
A recurring series on the most interesting book releases of the month...
Chasing Homer - László Krasznahorkai (Nov. 2) - In this thrilling chase narrative, a hunted man escapes certain death at breakneck speed — carooming through Europe and heading blindly South.
Burntcoat - Sarah Hall (Nov. 2) - A sharp and stunning novel of art and ambition, mortality and connection, Burntcoat is a major work from "one of our most influential short story writers." It is an intimate and vital examination of how and why we create — make art, form relationships, build a life--and an urgent exploration of an unprecedented crisis, the repercussions of which are still years in the learning.
The Every - Dave Eggers (Nov. 6) - When the world's largest search engine/social media company, The Circle, merges with the planet's dominant e-commerce site, it creates the richest and most dangerous--and, oddly enough, most beloved--monopoly ever known: The Every.
House with No Doors - Jeff Noon (Nov. 11) - At first glance, Leonard Graves' death was unremarkable. Sleeping pills, a bottle of vodka, a note saying goodbye. But when Detective Henry Hobbes discovers a grave in the basement, he realizes there is something far more sinister at work.
Small Things Like These - Claire Keegan (Nov. 30) - Small Things Like These is a deeply affecting story of hope, quiet heroism, and empathy from one of our most critically lauded and iconic writers.
