| Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  The Apollo Murders is this week's starred mystery selection. Author Chris Hadfield "draws on his expertise as an astronaut to add authenticity and realism to his debut thriller. Fans of Clive Cussler and Andy Weir will enjoy this genre-bender combining military fiction, the detective novel, and techno-thriller." In fiction, Tade Thompson's Far From the Light of Heaven is another starred selection. "A clever, haunting read from Arthur C. Clarke–winner Thompson." 1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows, a starred autobiography by Ai Weiwei "creates a vivid portrait of two generations grappling with their place in the Chinese cultural and political landscape, and gives readers a glimpse of his approach to art and the creative process. Highly recommended for those interested in art, memoir, politics, and history." American Made: What Happens to People When Work Disappears, by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Farah Stockman, is this week's starred social sciences selection. "A well-crafted nonpartisan study of the American working class that is a desirable addition to any nonfiction collection and will find a wide audience." See All Reviews››› |
