Here’s a list of books I’m looking forward to this fall season. Not all of them will rise to the level of the advertisement, but they are abundant crops.
Home After Dark by David Small (Liveright, Sept. 11 )
In 2009, Small published a celebrated graphic memoir(回忆录) called Stitches. Now the Caldecott Medal winner is back with a graphic novel about a motherless 13-year-old boy brought up in an unhappy home in California. This is a tale told in few words and many striking images. On Sept. 11 at 3 p.m., Small will be at AmazonBooks at Union Market. More information at www.amazon.com/graph-tale.
Waiting for Eden by Elliot Ackerman (Knopf, Sept. 25)
This brief novel is related to a dead soldier who is watching over a horribly burned partner in a Texas hospital. That sounds embarrassingly emotional, but Ackerman, who served in a navy in Iraq and Afghanistan, is one of the best soldier-writers of his generation.More information at www. amazon.com/military-essay.
All You Can Ever Know by Nicole Chung (Catapult, Oct. 2)
Chung, editor of the literary magazine Catapult, was adopted as a baby by a white family in Oregon. In this memoir, she writes about her childhood, her Asian American identity and her search for the Korean parents who gave her up.More information at www.amazon.com/politics-prose.
Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver(Harper, Oct. 16)
Alternating between the past and present, this novel tells the story of a woman investigating a late-19th-century science teacher who was caught up in the controversy over Darwinism. Like her other novels, this one promises to explore social and scientific problems. Visit www.amazon.com/tech-science for more information.
