Run
by
Patchett, Ann
In some ways it seems futile to write a recommendation for Ann Patchett's new novel, Run. After all, anyone who has read The Magician's Assistant
or Bel Canto knows that Patchett's gifts as a storyteller run so deep that anything she writes gives way to essence and beauty. It feels a given then to say that Run is worth reading, but alas, it is. I so enjoyed this book for its scope and telling. Patchett sets the novel in Boston where wealth, poverty, race, and politics all overlap within the city's geography so that a neighbor by proximity might also be living a world away. Using one family's story and the series of events they face in 24 hours. Patchett weaves a tale that spans lifetimes, ultimately questioning community and boundaries, speaking to the ways we are all connected but also then, to the distances that are left in between. Ann Patchett has done it again; read this story, and if you haven't already done so, read all of them--she's incredible.

One of the great strengths of our store is the booksellers who make it all possible. Our staff devours books, each with their own inclinations but all with voracity and enthusiasm. Get any of us talking about our favorite books and you'll get more than you asked for. But because you did ask....

20th Century Eightball
by
Clowes, Daniel
The graphic novelist behind Ghost World collects here most of his earlier work, mostly semi-autobiographical and always hilarious and perverse. The noted story Art School Confidential is included, but it is Clowe’s wide array of anti-social, romantically inept and inwardly focused characters that unite this collection. -Zack |

Moments Without Names: New & Selected Prose Poems
by
Marcus, Morton
Sixty-five new poems take their place beside forty-five poems published in Marcus's previous two books. Employing and many times parodying the structures of discourse by which we have communicated our sense of the world through the ages, Marcus re-examines the notions on which the human species has understood its place in the universe. In the process, he has created his own cosmology-a cosmology by turns humorous, satirical, poignant, and always compassionate in revealing our beliefs, foibles, hopes, and contradictory actions.Morton Marcus is the author of seven books of poetry and one novel, "The Brezhvev Memo," A film historian and critic as well as a poet, Marcus taught film and literature at Cabrillo College in Aptos, California, until his retirement. |
