    I didn't think 'Pachinko' could be topped. Then I read 'American Hagwon' (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Min Jin Lee's new novel, American Hagwon, has been nearly 10 years in the making; if it had taken 20, I'd still wonder how she held all these stories, these lives, such pain and love in her imagination for the time it took to find the words to embody them on the page. The novel is the third in her projected four-novel series about the Korean diaspora. Pachinko, the second in the series, was a finalist for the National Book Award. A simultaneously sweeping-but-intimate novel about the complexitie

    Kate Atkinson's latest historical escape is to a festival most Americans haven't heard of (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The fall publishing season is, as always, filled with such heavyweights that it seems like a back-handed compliment to say that the big takeaway about Kate Atkinson's new novel, Our Noble Selves, is that it's so much fun to read. Atkinson is known for her jittery historical novels that jump around in time, as well as for her Jackson Brodie detective series. Our Noble Selves cleverly melds both forms for a purpose: It's an escapist novel that chronicles the need for escape in post-World War II Br

    It's 2031, and the U.S. has 'come undone' in Emily St. John Mandel's 'Exit Party' (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Emily St. John Mandel is a novelist celebrated for, among other things, her prescience. Station Eleven, her best-known novel, was published in 2014. When the pandemic hit globally in 2020, critics and readers began to remark on how Station Eleven anticipated the pandemic, given that its dystopian plot is set in motion by the outbreak of a worldwide virus. Let's hope that Mandel's gift for writing prophetic fiction is overrated, because her latest novel, Exit Party, opens with this set-up: "In th

    Squeeze in one last summer read: Here are 3 suspense thrillers to choose from (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It's the end of summer, so let's grab what escape we can, which, for me, means reading suspense fiction. Six years ago, I stopped eating mushrooms. The cause was Silvia Moreno-Garcia's horror novel, Mexican Gothic, in which fungi become frightful. Moreno-Garcia, who excels at playing around with genre fiction, recently brought out a noir novel set in 1940s Mexico. Called The Intrigue, it's so stylishly evil, it begs for a movie version, in black and white, of course. The plot is a classic one in

    In 'Etna,' a canine narrator delivers a poignant anti-war message (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    This one is special. Paul Yoon's slim, devastating novel, Etna, is in a category of its own — a category that contains adjectives like "profound," and "uncanny." Narrated by a battle-scarred ex-military dog named Etna, Yoon's novel inevitably invites comparisons to that other story out this summer about a weary warrior trying to make his way home. I'm no help here, given that I haven't seen Christopher Nolan's movie yet and I haven't read Homer's Odyssey in years. No matter. Yoon's novel is so b
