Furthermore: Atmospheric Disturbances by Rivka Galchen, The Country Where No One Ever Dies by Ornela Vorpsi, The Bridegroom Was a Dog by Yoko Tawada, and so on and so on and Green Apple knows best.
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger is the best novel I've read in the past ten years.
Wait, there's more: How about The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver, winner of the UK's Orange Prize for fiction? I loved that book, to heck with the shine on she got from the folks at NPR.
Don't forget Lorrie Moore's Gate at the Stairs !
Great list! What a lovely response to the Oprah news. Thank you so much.
I'm really excited about checking out the names I'm not familiar with.
I have been meaning to check out Egan's A Visit for the past few months because I thought The Keep was great.
I love Lucy Ellmann and Nicola Barker and would recommend them to anyone looking for funny, fast-paced and clever novels.
Thanks again. x
thanks SO much! and yes, great great response to the O news! happy reading, everyone!
oh, and one more thing - i've just left your totally fabulous book shop where i know i could happily live for days on end were i just in the bay area - much to my chagrin, however, i am far far away - but - with many thanks to our virtual travel plan accommodations here, in cyberland, i will be able to visit as often as i like - a great site - a great shop - and great company!!! i'm in heaven!!!
