Books

The Abstainer: by Ian McGuire

By John L. Murphy
December 15, 2020
in :  Books, Reviews

Everyone in this grim tale walks a balancing act between falling into the clutches of Irish retribution or English repression.

Interior Chinatown: by Charles Yu

By Ashley Pabilonia
December 14, 2020
in :  Books, Reviews

While the novel may seem gimmicky in presentation, readers will excavate frank examinations of culture and race with critical thinking and reflection.

Read More

Luster: by Raven Leilani

By Ashley Pabilonia
December 13, 2020
in :  Books, Reviews

A literary artwork interweaving many themes -- loneliness and companionship, trauma and self-actualization, especially as an underpaid, undervalued Millennial and a Black woman.

Sorry for Your Trouble: by Richard Ford

By John Paul
December 10, 2020
in :  Books, Reviews

Ford’s main characters find that they only ever truly develop any sort of lasting, meaningful relationship with themselves, not other people.

Predicting the Past: Edited and designed by Stephen Berkman

By Pat Padua
December 9, 2020
in :  Books, Recommended Books, Reviews

The Unreality of Memory and Other Essays: by Elisa Gabbert

By Linda Levitt
December 8, 2020
in :  Books, Recommended Books, Reviews

Gabbert’s essays are deeply engaging, full of questions and anecdotes the reader is likely to recall, whether scrolling through social media or deep in conversation with friends.

Earthlings: by Sayaka Murata

By Susan Darlington
December 6, 2020
in :  Books, Reviews

While its plot could be taken for simple childhood escapism or as a metaphor for alienation, much like its heroine, this novel never quite conforms to expectations.

Read More

Fathoms: by Rebecca Giggs

By Ian Maxton
December 3, 2020
in :  Books, Reviews

For a book of less than 300 pages, it covers an enormous amount of ground both scholarly and personal – but as a result the account is wide rather than deep.

Read More

The Hole: by Hiroko Oyamada (Translated by David Boyd)

By Justin Cober-Lake
December 2, 2020
in :  Books, Recommended Books, Reviews

The novel becomes a commentary that offers its best insights through teases and impressions, and only Oyamada's calm assurance as a writer gives us the stability we need.

USBM: A Revolution of Identity in American Black Metal: by Daniel Lake

By Max Heilman
December 1, 2020
in :  Books, Recommended Books, Reviews

Chock-full of archival photographs and interesting interviews, USBM is a necessary tome of an oft-misunderstood movement in extreme metal.
