1- So Far So Good by Ursula K. Le Guin
The late genius of science fiction was always a poet، and in this collection completed just before her death earlier this year ''Le Guin'' is candid unafraid and as fiercely devoted as ever to shape-shifting creatures and cats.
2- The Life of Saul Bellow by Zachary Leader
Leader’s first volume followed Bellow on his ascent from street kid to Guggenheim fellow and expat. As the second volume shows. Bellow never stopped collecting wives, children, masterpieces and awards.
Things do not get nobler in the second volume which is as minutely researched and clear-eyed as Leader’s first. It begins with the publication of Herzog at the end of 1964. The novel had been made out of the collapse of his second marriage to Sasha, who had been having an affair with his friend and academic colleague, Jack Ludwig.
3-Commandatore by Haruki Murakami
When his marriage fails a portrait artist seeks refuge in a friend’s home where a painting in the attic helps him slip into another dimension and his reality slowly begins to shift: A tech baron seeks him out for a portrait he meets a 13-year-old girl reminiscent of his late sister and mysterious sounds lead him to a magical well. This one is for longtime Murakami fans hankering for more fantastical quests and morose meditations in the mode of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.
4- She Would Be King by Wayétu Moore
Magical realism meets the revisionist superhero in Moore’s imaginative debut in which several unlikely saviors a super-strong escaped Virginia slave, a half-Jamaican who can disappear and a West African woman prone to rising from the dead converge on Liberia around the moment of its founding and fight to repel colonial incursions.
Moore’s breakthrough sheds heavenly light on the fleeting moment when the African diaspora reversed itself.
