[Busy with a
bunch of book talks at the moment—on which more in a few weeks—so a series of
brief posts highlighting great new books I’ve read this year. Add your own
recent reads, whether new books or otherwise, for a crowd-sourced weekend
reading list!]
Not gonna lie, I
only recently got my hands on Monique
Truong’s new novel, The
Sweetest Fruits, and am only a few pages into it as of this writing. But
c’mon, a multi-vocal, multi-perspectival historical novel based on the amazing
life and compelling
writings of the great, under-remembered late 19th century Greek
Irish American (and eventually
Japanese) writer Lafcadio Hearn?
Sign. Me. Up! And that’s enough from me—go read these books, and then (or
first) tell me what you’re reading these days!
Crowd-sourced
post this weekend,
Ben
PS. Thoughts on
this book? Other recent reads you’d share?
