Serve the People!: A Novel
Yan Lianke
Grove Press, Black Cat, 2008
serve the people serves you nothng but pleasure
Serve the People is a great book. It is well written like a lot of Chinese literature. The words are smart, sparse and full of emotion. The story is one that is both political and a love story at the same time. Apparently, according to the book jacket, this book was ...
Man Gone Down: A Novel
Michael Thomas

read it twice, at least
This first novel beats anything written the same year. I couldn't put it down until I had read it twice. It's one of the most observant pieces in years. You look through the eyes of the narrator and see a world you can't see any other way. Go to a coffee shop, or go to ...

The doctor is in.

Fault Lines
Nancy Huston
