returns with a roar in this gorgeous,
searing portrait of Manhattanites
wrapped in their own delusions, desires
and lies.
Doubleday $27.95

Staff Pick: “Lethem’s Manhattan is full of secrets, spectacle, revelation
and the brilliantly obtuse, all blended together in a strangely claustro-
phobic fashion; his greasy, smoky island, even more than our own, is to
be laughed at, and feared. It’s an island, a book, to be celebrated.”
—Dustin Kurtz, McNally Jackson, New York, NY

man, a battle over the falls threatens their
future and all she holds dear.
Voice $24.99
9781401340971
Staff Pick: “The Day the Falls Stood Still

watching the Ken Burns PBS special on
National Parks. It deals with early environmentalism, myth, love, heart-
ache, loss as well as the political and financial deals made in the name
of harnessing energy. Bess evolves from a sheltered God-fearing young

Stitches
David Small
A silent movie masquerading as a book,
Stitches is as much a memoir as a tale of
redemption that informs us that things can
get better, that good can emerge from evil
and that art has the power to transform.
Norton $24.95
Staff Pick: “This graphic novel/memoir by
esteemed children’s author/illustrator David
Small bears a passing resemblance to Allison Bechdel’s best-selling Fun
Home: it’s a story of secretive, dysfunctional parents and the author’s pur-
suit of a life in art. But Small’s story of growing up in the 1950s is more
primal and emotional—sometimes terrifyingly so—and the artwork in
his swirling scenes and brutally realized facial expressions has the myste-
rious power of bad dreams. Emotionally wrenching and artistically soar-
ing, Stitches is one of the most powerful graphic novels I have ever read,
and sure to become a classic of the genre.”

Staff Pick: “Francine Prose is a writer’s
writer—and a reader’s writer—who brings
intelligence and grace to any topic. Her
musings on Frank’s famous diary in
context as a literary work uncovers the power of the young girl’s vision
beyond her historical context, and sheds new light on both the work itself
and its legacy in the decades since the Holocaust. Fans of Prose, as well as
anyone interested in how artistic inspiration can arise from hardship, will
treasure this accessible and insightful work of literary criticism.”
