Apr '22 Notable Books: Emily St. John Mandel, Jennifer Egan, Lisa Hsiao Chen & Vaishnavi Patel
A recurring series on the most interesting book releases of the month...
The Candy House - Jennifer Egan (Apr. 5) - An electrifying, deeply moving novel about the quest for authenticity, privacy, and meaning in a world where our memories are no longer our own.
Sea of Tranquility - Emily St. John Mandel (Apr. 5) - A virtuoso performance that is as human and tender as it is intellectually playful, Sea of Tranquility is a novel of time travel and metaphysics that precisely captures the reality of our current moment.
Activities of Daily Living - Lisa Hsiao Chen (Apr. 12) - How do we take stock of a life — by what means, and by what measure? This is the question that preoccupies Alice, a Taiwanese immigrant in her late thirties. Activities of Daily Living is a lucid, intimate examination of the creative life and the passage of time.
Kaikeyi - Vaishnavi Patel (Apr. 26) - A stunning debut from a powerful new voice, Kaikeyi is a tale of fate, family, courage, and heartbreak — of an extraordinary woman determined to leave her mark in a world where gods and men dictate the shape of things to come.
