In All the Lovers in the night from @EuropaEditions, @mieko_kawakami has created one of the most mysterious characters in contemporary fiction. Intriguing from the first page through the last.
@eecobooks’s The Hero of This Book by @elizmccracken is full of wry wit and apt, quirky observations that make you stop and reread to fully appreciate. Fiction and memoir both, but it really doesn’t matter what genre it is because it works.
An era—The Troubles—and a place—Belfast—could not have been more vividly and poignantly made felt than in Trespasses by Louise Kennedy. Thanks too to @riverheadbooks for delivering this novel that feels as immediate as film. Amazing dialogue and characterization. A gorgeous book.
@linda_leith @ToulasTake @LLP_Publishing Congratulations on choosing to publish this important timely book. It will resonate with many and be instructive to many more. An excellent piece on inclusiveness & positive reasonable perspective. Reading many sections and saying out loud "Yes!" Chapeau to you and Toula! 🙏
Thanks @ElaineKalman for the gift of Robyn Sarah’s Music, Late and Soon from @biblioasis. For someone who as a child tortured her piano, recorder and guitar, this memoir of a life steeped in making music—meticulously recounted and beautifully rendered—brings home what I missed.
An exceptional personal essay by @JoAnnWallaceToo in the @globeandmail:

As many of the many comments on the on-line version state: if there were a road map on how to live with a terminal illness, this might be it. Print version appears Sept. 26/22.
