| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Mario Vargas Llosa's The Neighborhood is one of two starred fiction titles this week. "This new work from the Nobel Prize winner is a fast-paced and well-executed translation of his 2016 Cinco esquinas, literally Five Corners.... A murder mystery with political overtones and the underlying power of the press, exquisitely wrought." In nonfiction, Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2018 is "a beautiful, concise guide for future and armchair travelers to thumb through and see what is now trendy in travel." And in e-originals, White Knight, by Nicole Flockton and Abigail Owen, "cleverly integrates the King Arthur and Snow White tales, blending the Knights of the Round Table with Snow White’s seven companions. Overtly safe yet compelling sex, witty dialog, and paranormal action make this a winner."
