![]() ![]() It's the kind of book you immediately want to pass along I've been tempted to read sentences from it aloud to strangers on buses. Rivka Galchen's unbelievably great story collection, American Innovations, is fresh-born from FSG and every single story is brilliant. There are so many terrific books coming out this summer-I've been raving about Robin Black's Life Drawing, a novel kind of ghost story, in which a past infidelity and the return of the creative impulse disrupts the stability of an artist's marriage. Which new title are you the most excited to read this summer? It's a great book to read near the actual sea, since the musicality of Woolf's prose and her metaphors for human consciousness arise from the tides. There is a surrender to a book that can only happen in the dreamy freedom of summer, and Woolf's rhythms roll you under the spell she casts is completely immersive. ![]() One of my all-time favorite summer reads is The Waves by Virginia Woolf. What is one of your all-time favorite summer reads? Karen Russell, author of Sleep Donation, out exclusively as an ebook now ![]() There's adventure, and danger and secret passion and beautiful spies with guns, and…you know what? Just go get a copy now, and thank me later. Girl gets boy, but the story's just getting started, as America goes to war. This book has everything you'd want to take to the beach-a plucky, funny secretary who's in love with her too-handsome-to-be-real (and too good to be true) boss. My all-time favorite summer read is Susan Isaac's Shining Through. ![]()
