| Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  Lapvona, by Ottessa Moshfegh, is a starred fiction title. "At once immensely alien and deeply human, Moshfegh’s latest is a brutal, inventive novel about the ways that stories and the act of storytelling shape us and articulate our world." Adam Oyebanji's debut novel Braking Day is a starred SFF selection. "This is a story of people who are their own worst enemies as groups fracture, danger ramps up, and options close in. It will appeal to fans of colony ship stories and coming-of-age tales." African Founders: How Enslaved People Expanded American Freedom, by David Hackett Fischer, is a starred history title. "This riveting, extensive study will prove invaluable to students of the history of slavery and African American history." And former Assistant U.S. Attorney John Gleeson's The Gotti Wars: Taking Down America’s Most Notorious Mobster is a starred Law & Crime selection. "Do we need yet another book on Gotti? Gleeson answers the question with a resounding yes." See All Reviews››› |
