We're so excited about these new books by jamiattenberg, Patti Smith, and more.
It's finally fall: the perfect time to head to a park or café with a book you just can't put down. Here are five new and upcoming novels, memoirs, and collections — all reviewed in our September/October issue — we're looking forward to reading the next few months.Melody’s 16th birthday is a time for celebration, but like every milestone in her life, it’s also a moment full of questions. Melody has them about the mother who has always been in and out—but mostly out—of her life.
Despite the short time span, this story covers a lot of ground. The narrative follows one individual family member at a time, plus some unrelated characters, creating a rich account of what folks have done, remembered, and regretted. None of the Tuchmans are native to Louisiana, so hearing from locals as well gives New Orleans wonderful depth as a setting. Attenberg’s writing is funny and true, her observations bone-deep and nonjudgmental.

A keen observer of the world around her, Smith is equally adept at documenting her inner terrain. But this travelogue is far more abstract than her previous work. Smith weaves in and out of dreaming and waking life without warning and no matter how real her characters appear, there is no telling when they will be revealed as figments of the author’s imagination. It’s difficult to make peace with Smith as an unreliable narrator after the steadfast clarity of her previous works.
