A State of Freedom

by Neel Mukherjee:

Out today is a powerful and haunting book from Neel Mukherjee, a novel described by Hanya Yanagihara as “…the most astonishing and brilliant novel I have read in a long, long time.” Five characters, in very different circumstances—from a domestic cook in Mumbai, to a vagrant and his dancing bear, to a girl who escapes terror in her home village for a new life in the city—find out the meanings of dislocation and the desire for more. In A State of Freedom, Neel Mukherjee wrests open the central, defining events of our century: displacement and migration.

Bad Jobs and Poor Decisions

by J.R. Helton:

Highly anticipated by several of our booksellers comes Bad Jobs and Poor Decisions, J.R. Helton’s unflinching account of blue-collar Texas. Young, married, and jobless in Austin in the 80s, it took a few wayward years before Helton, an aspiring writer, succumbed to the reality of supporting oneself and a troubled marriage with a series of terrible jobs, mind-numbing manual labor, and hateful employers. With intoxicating, blasé-faire sentiment, Helton shows that everyone—from the beauties at the rodeo to the lowest laborers—is tethered by a common desire to just pay the bills and balm the loneliness.

The Woman in the Window

by A.J. Finn:

If you liked The Girl On The Train or Gone Girl, there’s a new domestic thriller out today from A.J. Finn to rival the giants. Anna Fox is an agoraphobe who never leaves her New York apartment. She mostly spends her time drinking wine, watching old movies, and spying on her neighbors. And then she sees something she shouldn’t, something that causes her world to crumble and lay its shocking secrets bare, where nothing and no one is as they seem. Diabolically clever and twisting, The Woman in the Window brings to mind Hitchcockian thrills.

The Bomb Maker

by Thomas Perry:

New from bestselling author Thomas Perry comes a standalone novel pitting a mastermind bomb maker against the best the LAPD Bomb Squad ever had, former commander Dick Stahl. But when things heat up a little too close to home, Stahl realizes that the Bomb Maker’s target may just be the squad itself. This one will keep you up well past midnight–The Bomb Maker is Thomas Perry’s biggest, most unstoppable thriller yet.

Furnishing Eternity

by David Giffels:

David Giffels’ Furnishing Eternity is a vibrant, heartfelt memoir about confronting mortality, surviving loss, finding resilience in one’s Midwest roots and seeking a father’s wisdom through an unusual woodworking project—constructing his own coffin. After the loss of his mother, and shortly after, his best friend, Giffels found himself faced with the weight of mortality. Working together with his father to construct his own coffin was a pursuit that grew into a meditation on grief and optimism, a quest for enlightenment, and a way to cherish time with an aging parent.

Striped Pears and Polka Dots

by Kirsten Sevig:

One of Instagram’s favorite authors, Kirsten Sevig’s book of art is finally out today and it is magical! She paints rainbow-colored rooftops, striped pears, birds in hats, teacups, cats, and more—all drawn to bring joy to anyone who views them. When the weather is rainy and gray, Sevig paints herself some sunshine. When she feels sad, she paints something colorful to cheer herself up; when anxious, something soothing and repetitive; when overwhelmed, she makes a series of small decisions about what to put on the page and begins to feel empowered. This collection of her art is a pure joy!
