McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales - Michael Chabon [234]
SHEILA HETI — THE MIDDLE STORIES
Wildly acclaimed in Canada, The Middle Stories is a striking collection of stories, fables, and short brutalities that are alternately heartwarming, cruel, and hilarious.
STEPHEN DIXON — I.
The long-awaited novel from the two-time National Book Award finalist, I. is a searingly powerful and deeply personal novel that explores the realities of a couple aging together and the limitations of memory.
MARCEL DZAMA — THE BERLIN YEARS
Marcel Dzama is a young Canadian artist who might very well change everything we know about art that involves alligators and men in bear costumes holding guns.
