BOOKS - FICTION NEW IN PAPERBACK
Time to separate new and recent hardcover fiction from new and recent paperback fiction! So many paperback editions of novels and stories arrive every month that this may be considered a filtered selection of what is out there, what I have, what is fashionable these days to describe as “curated.” I have many more new fiction paperbacks than I can list, of course, but think of these as sampling. Enjoy!
Winter
Winter
Shortlisted for the British Book Award – Fiction Book of the Year and the Orwell Prize for Political Writing
One of the Best Books of the Year: New York Public Library, Kirkus Reviews
The second novel in the Man Booker Prize–nominated author’s Seasonal cycle; the much-anticipated follow-up to Autumn (a New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Financial Times, The Guardian, Southern Living, and Kirkus Reviews best book of the year).
Winter. Bleak. Frosty wind, earth as iron, water as stone, so the old song goes. And now Art’s mother is seeing things. Come to think of it, Art’s seeing things himself.
When four people, strangers and family, converge on a fifteen-bedroom house in Cornwall for Christmas, will there be enough room for everyone?
Winter. It makes things visible. Ali Smith’s shapeshifting Winter casts a warm, wise, merry and uncompromising eye over a post-truth era in a story rooted in history and memory and with a taproot deep in the evergreens, art and love.
