| I enjoyed Harry Crews’s The Gospel Singer, a tragic parable about the one ray of hope in a fairly destitute 1960s Georgia town called Enigma: its famously beautiful, golden-haired, golden-voiced Gospel Singer, who brings pure joy—and sometimes even g ...more | |

| Julian Barnes's Departures is an unusual novel in the form of a memoir, made up of short pieces about places, people, books, art, travel, and aging. It's clearly about himself, but never in a straightforward autobiographical way. He often approaches ...more | |

| The Strange Case of Jane O had me at "If The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat was fiction." But, in fact, that couldn't be further from the truth. It might be the most aggravating book I've ever read because it's not bad out of the gate and all the ...more | |
