Ill Will
Dan Chaon (Ballantine)
Chaon expertly realizes his singular vision of American dread in this
extraordinary novel about Ohio psychologist Dustin Tillman, whose
parents and aunt and uncle were murdered when he was 13—and
whose testimony helped put his adopted brother, Rusty, in prison for
the crime. Rusty, who has just been exonerated through DNA evidence, reaches out to Dustin’s troubled son, a teenage junkie sliding
into Cleveland’s underground.
In the Distance
Hernán Díaz (Coffee House)
In Díaz’s brilliant debut, a young Swedish immigrant named Håkan
is separated from his brother en route to America. Håkan lands in
San Francisco knowing only that he must get to New York, but his
journey becomes a series of increasingly dangerous episodes. This
suspenseful novel is a potent depiction of loneliness, a memorable
immigration narrative, and a canny reinvention of the old-school
western.
Grief Cottage
Gail Godwin (Bloomsbury)
After 11-year-old Marcus’s mother dies, he goes to live with his
great-aunt Charlotte, a reclusive painter, on a small South Carolina
island. There, during a summer that will change his life, Marcus
becomes obsessed with the island’s supposedly haunted beach shack.
This coming-of-age novel is a moving depiction of a boy who must
decide how to grieve: to raze his identity completely or memorialize
his tragedies.
Sing, Unburied, Sing
Jesmyn Ward (Scribner)
Ward’s blistering novel unpacks a stark legacy of hatred as a drug-abusing young mother drives into the dark reaches of Mississippi to
pick up her husband after he’s released from prison. Her mother’s
on her deathbed, her son sees the ghost that haunts her father, and
everything, everywhere is drenched with creeping doom. Ward’s
Mississippi is an unforgiving place, and she draws even her most
troubled characters with a remarkable empathy.
White Tears
Hari Kunzru (Knopf)
In this astute take on gentrification culture, 20-something white
roommates Carter and Seth are audiophiles who record an old chess
player singing in the park and remix it into a counterfeit blues song by
a black singer they make up named Charlie Shaw. When a collector
insists Charlie Shaw is real and Carter is left in a coma, Seth travels
from New York to Mississippi to unravel Kunzru’s fast-paced, ambitious, hallucinatory mystery.
