by Vendela Vida This is a haunting novel of loss, grief, the redemptive promise of travel and so much more. This sharp, taut book highlights Vida's signature elegant and haunting prose and lovingly brings to life an older female protagonist grieving a deceased husband. Vida is a local literary luminary, is the editor and co-founder of The Believer magazine, and a long time Green Apple favorite. |
by Howard Norman Howard Norman, widely regarded as one of this country’s finest novelists, returns to the mesmerizing fictional terrain of his major books—The Bird Artist, The Museum Guard, and The Haunting of L—in this stirring and morally complex story. The novel follows a 17 year old protagonist and the events that unfold following the seperate and almost simultaneous suicides of his parents. It’s a confession that speaks profoundly of the mysteries of human character in wartime, Norman at his celebrated best. |
by Joshua Cohen Cohen's novel has been described both as the Jewish Infinite Jest and the Jewish Ulysses, both comparissons referencing the book's massive scope and ambition, post modern touches and Joycean wordplay. Cohen's satirical masterpiece is an enormous undertaking, but a richly rewarding one. This is comedy with consequence, it pushes the boundaries of what literature is and can be. It's well worth your attention. |
