Good and Evil and Other Stories by Samanta Schweblin

Maybe our finest living writer working in the tradition of the Weird—not cosmic, but human.

The Sweet Dove Died by Barbara Pym

Clear rating
An enjoyable novel, like a bit of Henry James in—or perhaps adjacent to—swinging London.

Ethiopia by Yves-Marie Stranger

Useful, I think, for reading about how outsiders have understood Ethiopia for millennia, less so for insight into the country itself. Still interesting.

Nada by Jean-Patrick Manchette

A bottle rocket of a book that takes off and doesn’t stop going until it explodes on the final page. Great fun.

Tonight in Jungleland by Peter Ames Carlin
Rate this book
Clear rating
Carlin’s aware of the foibles of writing about the Rock Gods, but ably navigates the history and psychology of Born to Run. Illuminating for its insight into Springsteen’s creative process and especially his dissatisfaction’s role in that.
