This list has Stephen King, Cormac McCarthy, and a cultural history of butts.
Welcome back to the biggest season in books, dear readers. Fall is book publishing's victory lap, when publishers roll out their biggest titles by their biggest literary prize-winners. That explains why this season's line-up is such a murderers' row of huge names, like Stephen King, Annie Proulx, and Haruki Murakami. We've also got some bona fide literary events in the pipeline, like George Saunders' first collection of short fiction in nearly a decade, and Cormac McCarthy returning with not one, but two novels after more than fifteen years of trademark seclusion. This season is also full of unexpected delights, like unpublished fiction from Leonard Cohen and a cultural history of the female bottom. (Yes, we're serious). Not all of these books have hit shelves yet, so if you see something you like, do yourself a favor and pre-order it now. When you find it on your doorstep amid a scattering of fall leaves, you'll be thanking Past You. |

I picture my dad in Sperrys. He's not a dyed-in-the-wool blue blood like some of his friends from the Main Line, outside Philly. But he certainly dressed the part back in the day. Brooks Brothers to marry my mom. Faded jeans and L.L.Bean chamois shirts to wrangle the kids. And, of course, the boat shoes. Practical. Dependable. Unassuming. The first pair of "dad shoes" in my life. |
