Staff Reviews


I wait for this to come out every fall. Some years are definitely better
than others. So far this seems like a knockout! Lauren Groff's story
of a boy growing up among reptiles in a home without much love is
heart-stopping and simply stellar. Laura Van den Berg's Antarctica
tells of a woman retrieving her brother's bones, but much more than
that in her tale of grief. I look forward to savoring the rest.
