Author Interview

I was recently interviewed by writer Christopher Fischer regarding my novel Emancipating Alice and that interview can be found here.

Thank you Christoph!

13 Books I'd Like to Read in 2013

I'm a fan of family sagas. Of literary novels too--which family sagas tend to be. Experimental fiction also has a very special place in my heart, and I definitely love multicultural fiction.
Put all of these together and my brain almost explodes in rapture.

Not surprisingly, each item on my 2013 reading list has one or more of these elements, and they are as follows:

* Cane River- Lalita Tademy
* The Famished Road- Ben Okri
* The Cider House Rules- John Irving
* The Satanic Verses- Salman Rushdie
* Child of God- Lolita Files
* The Name of the Rose- Umberto Eco
* The God of Small Things- Arundhati Roy
* The Tin Drum- Gunter Grass
* Hopscotch- Julio Cortazar
* House of Leaves- Mark Z. Danielewski
* The Grapes of Wrath- John Steinbeck
* The Brothers Karamazov- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
* The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao- Junot Diaz

(Clearly I also favor books whose titles begin with 'The.')

I hope I get to most (if not all) of these books next year--most have been on my 'to read' list for quite a while now.
