 Chris Bohjalian's The Sleepwalker is this week's starred fiction title. "Set in the bucolic town of Bartlett, VT, Bohjalian’s (The Guest Room) latest will captivate readers who crave an edge-of-your-seat page-turner they can’t put down." In nonfiction, Pen to Paper: Artists’ Handwritten Letters from the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art, edited by Mary Savig, is "an invaluable tool for those interested in the visual arts. Readers curious about art, calligraphy, lettering, or even graphic design will find this irresistible." In graphic novels, "the compelling subject matter" of Becoming Andy Warhol, by Nick Bertozzi with illustrations by Pierce Hargan, "may be of interest to Warhol enthusiasts but might go over the heads of casual readers." And Samantha Sotto's Love and Gravity is this week's starred e-original. "The imaginative blend of romance, history, and paranormal is compulsively readable, hits all the romantic high notes, and provides a novel explanation for the development of calculus; highly recommended."
