Arnaldur Indridason Hypothermia Fiction |
| I’ve enjoyed the Swedish mysteries by Stieg Larsson and
Henning Mankell so I thought Hypothermia by Icelandic writer
Arnaldur Indridason might be a good follow-up. The audiobook version
was a good choice for my daily commute because it is short (7 discs)
and mysteries keep my attention and are easy to listen to. And it's
read by George Guidall, perhaps my favorite reader (listen to his
Lord of the Rings). The main character in Hypothermia, Erlendur,
is a middle-aged divorced police detective (reminiscent of Mankell’s
Wallender), privately investigating the suicide of Maria, a depressed
woman who was intrigued by the afterlife. The friend who finds her
hanging from the rafters of a lakeside cottage is convinced it wasn’t
suicide and sets Erlendur off on a hunt that uncovers seances, the
traumatic drowning of Maria’s father during her childhood, and the
experimental death and revival of a university student. The topic
of suicide also prompts Erlendur to find closure to two missing person
cases which were presumed suicides thirty years ago. Throughout the
novel, pieces of Erlendur’s own life surface, in particular a blizzard
in which he and his younger brother were lost when he was ten, and
in which his brother disappeared, and his estranged relationship with
his wife, son and daughter. This is not a bloody action thriller but
a thoughtful investigation of interrelated events from the past that
are tied together by “hypothermia,” an appropriate Icelandic topic. Recommended by Cathy, January 2012 |

deWitt, Patrick The Sisters Brothers Fiction |
| Charlie and Eli Sisters are infamous assassins in the
mid-nineteenth century Wild West. The brothers make their way to booming
and frenetic San Francisco to kill a man. Their journey is not quiet
or clean, but in the end the brothers take an unexpected turn that
alters their career path. The novel is narrated by Eli, and his sparsely
simplistic prose and descriptions render him unexpectedly human. While
one character describes Charlie as being "simply too lazy to be good,"
we watch Eli try to act on the good in him, making himself vulnerable
in the attempt. Did I mention that this book is funny? Nearly every
page contains wicked dry humor, and this ox of a man is exposed as
being witty and likeable. You never forget the fact that Eli is a
feared killer, but you find yourself rooting for a better life for
him, where his circumstances do not dictate his actions, and his simple
dreams of shop keeping and clean teeth are realized. The Sisters
Brothers was short-listed for the 2011 Man Booker Prize—it certainly
had my vote. Recommended by Sheila, January 2012 |

Döblin, Alfred A People Betrayed Fiction |
| This epic novel forms the first part of November 1918: a German revolution, a historical fiction of the failed socialist uprising in Germany of 1918. A spectacular exercise of the literary imagination of the long-neglected author Alfred Döblin, best known for his book Berlin Alexanderplatz, the story is told in a series of snapshots — photographic in idea, but purely literary in execution; a collage of portraits- and scenes-in-words builds a papier mâché wall upon which Döblin slowly pieces together a pointillist mural. The montage is an invaluable construction of one of those mysterious moments in history when the masses decide to take the reigns of power and pilot the state from the gutters of society. Döblin takes no pity on any of the characters who enter and exit the stage -- some fictional, some all too real -- and isn't attempting to toe a party line or remain faithful to any particular historical interpretation of the events. He merely wishes to preserve in a collective memory, utilizing a collective process, a series of specific events following the bitter and humiliating defeat of Germany in World War I, which led, eventually, to various of the most tragic and inhumane events of the twentieth century. The story is completed in its sequel, Karl and Rosa. Recommended by Miguel, May 2012 |

Erdrich, Louise The Plague of Doves Fiction |
| In this masterful novel, characters intertwine after a
murder and lynching on a North Dakota Ojibwe reservation. Alternating
narrators divulge family histories and contemporary events that unfold
in an exquisitely complex plot that examines the crime over generations
and culminates in a thrilling conclusion. The novel’s emotional effect
is just as engrossing, as characters cope with the weight of historical
events on their own lives. Each character, from the teenaged granddaughter
of one of the lynching’s witnesses, to descendants of the murderous
mob, to the smitten judge, delivers a sympathetic tale. Some passages
are so gorgeously written, they’re transformative. Fans of Barbara
Kingsolver’s The
Poisonwood Bible will revel in Erdrich’s ability to incorporate
deep social challenges with lush prose, irresistible characters and
a riveting story. Recommended by Renée, February 2012 |

Harbach, Chad The Art of Fielding Fiction |
| An underdog baseball team at a small, liberal arts college
on Lake Michigan sees a rise in their fortune after a nearly magical
shortstop is recruited by the student captain. When these two meet
another member of the team known as the Buddha, he introduces himself
by coyly stating, “I’ll be your gay mulatto roommate.” The remaining
cast includes the college president, who is a renowned Melville scholar,
and his prodigal daughter. As you cheer for the home team, you’ll
root for the endearing characters. Though set in our era of cell phones,
this 500-page novel is rooted in good old-fashioned story telling.
A midlife crisis, quarter life crises, and illicit affair place it
in the psychological fiction category. The Art of Fielding
is spiced with literary references, but you don’t need an English
degree or passion for baseball to enjoy this witty tale of love and
friendship. If you enjoy the fictional worlds created by Jonathan
Franzen or John Irving, give Harbach’s popular debut novel a try. Recommended by Julie, March 2012 |

Hemmings, Kaui Hart The Descendants Fiction |
| Matt King is a Hawaiian businessman with a demanding schedule — and is consumed with the complicated matters of a land trust inherited by his family. So when it comes to his two daughters, he defers most of the parenting responsibilities to his wife, Joanie. But when a boating accident leaves Joanie in a coma with a grim prognosis, Matt must suddenly learn how to be a good father – amidst very tragic circumstances. He is, of course, unprepared for the force of his daughters’ personalities, especially in this time of extreme stress. Matt also learns some unpleasant truths about Joanie through his daughters and sets out on a two-day journey with them that both exhilarates him and breaks his heart. This book has already been made into an Academy Award-nominated film of the same name, and fans of the film certainly won’t be disappointed by Hemmings’ original story. Recommended by Karen G., May 2012 |

Jones, Tayari Silver Sparrow Fiction |
| The narrator’s very first line reveals the tipping point
for every member of Jones’s well-developed cast. Dana Lynn Yarboro
is the daughter of a bigamist. Her mother is the secret wife of middle-class
entrepreneur, James Witherspoon. Dana is his secret daughter, who
grew up watching her parallel sibling, Chaurisse, receive the finer
opportunities and greater affections. Dana’s mother works hard to
make up for the financial and emotional debt created by a frequently
absent father, but intelligent and resourceful Dana rebels, and crosses
the line into her half-sister’s life. What begins as Dana’s thirst
for information becomes a genuine friendship, although naïve Chaurisse
has no idea the true significance of Dana’s presence in her life.
Inevitably, the world eventually crashes down on all of the major
players. The characters are nuanced and rich, the story well-paced
and smooth. I have high standards for domestic fiction, and this novel
far exceeded my expectations. Recommended by Connie, January 2012 |

Lippman, Laura The Girl in the Green Raincoat Fiction |
| This short novel, originally serialized in the New
York Times Magazine, will implore you to read the whole thing
in one sitting! Private investigator Tess Monaghan is stuck on the
couch because of pregnancy complications. In a plot reminiscent of
Rear Window, she finds herself wondering about the various people
she notices outside her window. In particular, she watches a beautiful
blond woman wearing a green raincoat walking her similarly dressed
dog at the same time each day. When Tess spots the dog running free,
her inquisitive nature gets the better of her and she initiates a
little investigation of her own. With the aid of her best friend,
one devoted employee, and her ever-patient boyfriend, Tess begins
her quest to find out what really happened to the “girl in the green
raincoat.” Recommended by Karen G., January 2012 |

O’Nan, Stewart The Odds Fiction |
| A middle-aged couple heads to the casinos in Niagara
Falls in a last-ditch effort to win the money they need to save their
home. They decide to go all out and book an expensive hotel for Valentine’s
Day weekend. This simple premise sets the stage for a wonderfully
written tale about the highs and lows of married life. Flashbacks
from both spouses’ points of view give intriguing insight into the
dynamics of a 30-year marriage. This slim and savvy novel was written
by Pittsburgher Stewart O’Nan and is sure to strike a chord with many
readers. Recommended by Karen G., March 2012 |

 |
Petterson, Per I Curse the River of Time Fiction |
| The Norwegian writer Petterson (author of Out Stealing
Horses) again follows flashbacks of the narrator, in this case the
37-year-old Arvid Jansen, an introverted and somewhat ineffectual
Communist factory worker in Oslo. In the present, his wife is leaving
him, and his mother, a very strong woman with whom he has an unresolved
relationship, is dying of cancer. This takes place in 1989 when the
Berlin wall crumbles and the Soviet Union is falling apart. When Arvid’s
mother abruptly leaves Oslo to return home to Denmark, where their
family also spent their summers, Arvid follows her and this, naturally,
stimulates more memories of the past. Petterson paints a vivid picture
of their lives, of the rather bleak city and Danish coast, and of
Arvid’s internal struggles. Recommended by Cathy, March 2012 |

Poole, Ernest The Harbor Fiction |
| Ernest Poole won the first Pulitzer Prize for Fiction,
awarded in 1918 for a second novel,
His Family. Most critics, however, assumed that the prize was
awarded to Poole in belated recognition for the excellence of his
first novel, The Harbor, published in 1915. This "proletarian"
novel doesn't merely tell another story of the working classes, but
attempts to describe the education of a middle class boy growing into
adulthood, and the simultaneous transition from an individual to a
social conscience that this development should imply. Oftentimes,
these revealing literary glimpses into the unpleasant living conditions
of the poor directly pitted uneducated masses against an impossibly
stubborn oligarchy. Poole succeeds here by writing the gray areas
of the ambiguous humanity strung out between a desire for security
and an inability to ignore injustice. A unique story, the reader is
not made susceptible to an overly sentimental vision, but is slowly
taken along a path immediately recognizable -- the definition of the
individual as a member of his community. Recommended by Miguel, April 2012 |

Robb, J.D. Naked in Death Fiction |
| This first book of the series introduces Eve Dallas, tough,
no-nonsense cop, and the impossibly handsome and fantastically wealthy
Roarke. Love blossoms amidst grisly murder, suspicion and betrayal.
Scenes of cosmopolitan sophistication and opulence vie with seamy
characters and the sinister streets of Eve's milieu while Roarke and
Eve connect through mutually tormented pasts. The year is 2045. Completely
plausible technological advances are evenly incorporated into everyone's
jobs and lives. Auto-Chefs have to be stocked, so grocery shopping
hasn't been eradicated. Felinebots flit among garbage strewn in alleys
seeking out rodents. People are transported off planet both for recreational
and business reasons. Human foibles accessorized with a layer of future
technology make for an entertaining backdrop to the dynamic pairing
of two forces of nature. J. D. Robb's "In Death" series, started in
1995, consists of 33 books with more on the way. From what I hear,
they never get old. Recommended by Geo, February 2012 |

Simonson, Helen Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand Fiction |
| In the charming countryside of Southeast England, lives
widower, pensioner Major Ernest Pettigrew. He is a debonair gentleman,
looking only to mind his gardens, attend his golf club, and generally
do nothing out of the ordinary in a simple, quiet life. Upon the death
of his brother, however, the Major’s humble and quiet life is forever
altered when he finds an unexpected friend in Jasmina Ali, the Pakistani
shopkeeper from the village. But it isn’t so easy to befriend someone
regarded as an outsider. The characters in this novel are an interesting
assortment of the unpalatable (the Major’s son Roger is a narcissistic,
materialistic urbanite) and the utterly heart-warming (Major Pettigrew’s
uptight Britishness melts away as he dotes upon Ms. Ali’s great-nephew).
The author somehow cleverly tangles up comedy, romance, and serious
social commentary into one cohesive story. John Cleese would make
an ideal leading man for the film version of the novel. Recommended by Connie, February 2012 |

Sjowall, Maj and Per Wahloo The Martin Beck Series Mystery |
| Swedish poet Maj Sjöwall and partner Per Wahlöö wrote
a series of ten mysteries between 1965 and 1975 that have come to
be known as the Martin Beck mystery series. Beck is the detective
protagonist around which the series centers. I have never read a book
labeled as a mystery, but had an inkling that the Martin Beck series
would be less formulaic than I imagine traditional mysteries to be.
The story lines are gripping, and the series grew more interesting
as the authors delved further into the social and political context
in which the various crimes took place and as they developed the main
characters. Though the authors take socially critical stands on capitalism,
social welfare, the Swedish police force and more, a somewhat creepy
focus on women’s bodies in every book in the series can be read as
a manifestation of sexism. The translations of the earliest book or
two were not good, but the next seven or eight read very well. I enjoyed
this series so much that I plan to read more Scandinavian mysteries,
but also German, Austrian and Icelandic mysteries. We have a number
of these authors in our collection including, among many others, Henning
Mankell, Jo
Nesbø, and Arnaldur
Indriðason. Recommended by Jude, April 2012 |

Towles, Amor Rules of Civility Fiction |
|
“That’s how quickly New York City comes about – like a weather vane – or the head of a cobra. Time tells which.” Katey Kontent (pronounced like the state of well-being) may be young, female, and working as a secretary in New York City, but she is not naïve. She is sharp, witty, insightful. Katey understands how the world works and uses that to her advantage. Or does she? This novel about the ebbs and flows of friendship paints a picture of 1930's New York that is hard to resist. You see vivid landscape and buildings covered in the mist of evening light, like a black and white film, as you get caught up in Katey’s story. The main focus is a love triangle between Katey, her best friend, and Tinker Grey, handsome member of New York's elite. Just when Katey is about to get the upper hand with Tinker, fate intervenes in a dramatic way. The scenery, wardrobe, and snappy dialogue scream out to be made into a film. I certainly would see it. But first, I'd read the book again. Recommended by Melissa, May 2012 |

Tuten, Frederic Tintin in the New World: A Romance Fiction |
| In this meditation on adulthood, Frederic Tuten describes
the process of maturation as it might effect Tintin, the world-famous
boy reporter. This book provides a timely and important foil to Steven
Spielberg’s new movie. In flawless prose, Tuten attempts to describe
an intellectual adventure, rather than another pedestrian exploit
pursuing criminals that have won Tintin international acclaim. While
the main characters remain (Tintin, Captain Haddock, and of course,
Snowy), Tuten introduces a supporting cast of international types
from Thomas Mann's The
Magic Mountain, who alternately represent familiar ideas
and entirely confuse any discussion. It is not easy to say what exactly
is going on here. Ecology, history, sex, politics, art, economics,
dreams (and much more) are at least briefly considered. This novel
is, in a sense, "high" art (the rarified setting for much of the novel
is Machu Picchu). Yet its original cover art by the pop artist Roy
Lichtenstein suggests an experiment in appreciating the unexpectedly
profound depth of the most common terrains while highlighting a commonality
of the most sublime: take a beloved character, known and familiar,
and surprise us with how little we know. Recommended by Miguel, January 2012 |

Alford, Mimi Once Upon a Secret Nonfiction |
| “Everyone has a secret. This is mine.” In 1962, nineteen-year-old
Mimi Beardsley lucked into a prime position as a summer intern in
the White House press office. On her fourth day, she slept with President
Kennedy and began an affair that lasted until his death in November
1963. It’s hard to imagine the effect this situation had on a naïve
college girl from the upper-middle class. This secret made a lasting,
devastating impression on her first marriage and her life. The author
explains the choices she made and the reasons she made them, from
the perspective that hindsight gives. One of the major insights this
book provides is an insiders view of the 1960’s White House and the
culture that supported the President, basically allowing him to do
whatever he pleased. Prurient details are few, but they are juicy.
This is a quick, thoroughly interesting read, which may also teach
you a thing or two about the impact of decisions made and words left
unspoken. Recommended by Melissa, April 2012 |

Boo, Katherine Behind the Beautiful Forevers Nonfiction |
| Since he could walk, sixteen year old Abdul Hussain has reeked. He spends his days sifting through trash heaps to find recyclable materials to sell, as the sole wage-earner in his family of 11. The Hussains make their home in the Annawadi slum, situated just outside the Mumbai airport and next to a sewage lake. Along with their neighbors, the Hussains dream of a new life, new opportunity. In 'new' India, castes mean less as the economy grows, but not everyone can or will escape the polluted, crowded slums. According to the UN, nearly 1 billion people live in slums around the world. Behind the Beautiful Forevers is the story of a few of such dwellers. This non-fiction title was written by a Pulitzer prize winning journalist, and her prose reads much like a fiction novel. I laughed, cried, and learned. You can't ask for more from a book. Recommended by Holly, May 2012 |

Freed, Dolly Possum Living: How to Live Well Without a Job and With (Almost) No Money Nonfiction |
| Dolly Freed wrote this book as an 18-year-old in 1978. At the time, her parents had divorced and she was homesteading and homeschooling with her dad in the country outside of Philadelphia. It was reprinted in 2010 by Tin House Books out of Portland, Oregon, publisher of another progressive homemaking book entitled A Householder's Guide To the Universe: A Calendar of Basics For the Home and Beyond by Harriet Fasenfest. Possum Living is chock-full of interesting information about living the self-sufficient life, including some fascinating but gross instructions such as those on skinning a rabbit. This is not a lightweight skimming-over of the now-fashionable topic; this is real, useful information shared by someone who actually did live this way and for a substantial period of time. I particularly like the drawing of their wood stove, constructed from a 55-gallon drum. Though I do find the book to be really informative, what I like best is the sassy way that this 18-year-old delivers the information. Her writing is bright and funny, and her political opinions are definitely food for thought or at minimum not boring to read about. Freed ‘s suggested responses to people who take issue with people who lead an anti-consumerist lifestyle: “I am too being useful! You can always use me as a bad example!” or “While I’m not contributing to economic growth, a dubious good, I’m also not contributing to pollution, a definite evil.” Recommended by Jude, May 2012 |

Haeg, Fritz Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn Nonfiction |
| Have you ever thought of grass as a crop? It does require
loads of water, lots of pesticides, tons of fertilizer, and much tending.
But as crops go, it's pretty worthless and unappetizing for humans.
In this collection of inspirational essays and practical garden examples,
Fritz Haeg show us how to turn our thirsty lawns into lush, communal
spaces that provide much tastier crops: juicy tomatoes, crunchy sweet
peas, red raspberries, and the like. The regional planting calendars
in the back of the book will have you drooling. Recommended by Rita, January 2012 |

Nordhaus, Hannah The Beekeeper's Lament Nonfiction |
| Honey bees have had a hard time in recent years, not just in the United States, but around the globe. Scientists aren't sure what's to blame for Colony Collapse Disorder, which has left thousands of hives empty, save for their confused queens and some honey. Some say mites, fungus, or malnutrition are the culprits, while others point the finger at pesticides and the stress of migratory beekeeping. Why are vanishing bees a problem, aside from making honey a bit more scarce or expensive? Bees and their keepers aren't just responsible for producing honey; they also help pollinate acres and acres of crops, especially almonds, apples, and other fruits. Over several years, Hannah Nordhaus treks around the country following John Miller, a migrant beekeeper and colorful character whose family's history of beekeeping goes back generations. In a detailed but engaging journalistic style, Nordhaus reports on how essential bees are to our economy and food supply, and how labor-intensive and heartbreaking their tending can be. She suggests ways the general public can help support bees, such as decreasing pesticide use and planting more native flowers. Recommended by Karen G., May 2012 |

Skloot, Rebecca The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks Nonfiction |
| In 1951, an impoverished, African-American mother of five
is diagnosed with an aggressive form of cervical cancer never seen
before. By the time she is treated, her body has been consumed. By
the end of the year, she has died, leaving her children in the care
of relatives. She is 30 years old. It is a sad story, but Henrietta’s
demise isn’t the end. Doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital sampled tissue
from the patient, without the consent or knowledge of her family.
The cells this tissue produced in culture became the first “immortal”
line of human cells that did not eventually die out. They became known
as “Hela.” Something was very special about Henrietta’s cells, and
they have been used by scientists all over the world to study and
treat cancer, polio, AIDS, liver disease, infertility, and many other
maladies. Her tissue has been used by space programs and weapons testing.
Development of cloning technology and the mapping of the human genome
owe a lot to Mrs. Lacks. But, as the author explores, what have been
the ethical implications of the removal of these cells from Henrietta?
She’s only anonymous Hela to researchers, but she was also a mother,
wife, sister, friend, and cousin. Rebecca Skloot is a skilled writer,
able to blend science, sociology, biography, and history to present
the story of Henrietta Lacks, the human being, and Hela, her legacy. Recommended by Connie, March 2012 |

Theroux, Jessica Cooking with Italian Grandmothers Nonfiction |
| If you like to read your cookbooks rather than cook from
them, you will find this one particularly enjoyable, especially if
you like Italian food and grandmothers. Theroux begins her travels
through Italy in the urban north, first visiting a nonna her family
had stayed with when she was a child. Interviews with these older
women tell of their lives, their traditional cooking techniques, and
highlight special recipes, many of which are simple and often unique.
Theroux eventually winds her way down to the more rural and less developed
South (during which travel her northern Italian friends are concerned
for her safety). She is charmed by the people there as well. There
are other “Italian grandmother” cookbooks but in this one you really
meet the characters. Recommended by Cathy, March 2012 |

Asimov, Isaac Foundation Science Fiction |
| Isaac Asimov's original "Foundation Trilogy" of novels,
consisting of Foundation, Foundation
and Empire, and Second
Foundation, is an interesting meditation on building a society
and civilization upon the collapse of a previous one. Inspired by
Edward Gibbon's monumental The
History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Asimov
plays an optimistic twentieth-century Hobbes, curious about the causes
and interpretations of the fall of the Roman Empire. Perhaps more
significantly, he investigates the ingredients that humans consciously
and unconsciously select and neglect in their aspirations and inspirations
for progress. While all this may sound too heady, Asimov's greatest
success lies in couching profound macrocosmic considerations in conjoining
stories, like dominoes, filled with action and intrigue, love and
lust on an epic scale (centuries! galaxies! psychohistory!), involving
all sorts of characters betrayed by their microcosmic perspective—one
the reader can immediately relate to, despite the "science fiction."
The trilogy eventually expanded to include a wealth of other books
that take place within its universe, but these three are the only
recipients (ever!) of the Hugo Award for "Best All-Time Series" of
fantasy or science fiction. Recommended by Miguel, February 2012 |

Graphic Novels

Thompson, Craig Habibi Graphic Novel |
| In this beautifully illustrated graphic novel, themes
of female sexual abuse and indifference to the plight of the poor
are skillfully woven with parables and stories from the Qur’an. The
artistry of the frames is dense. Symbolism abounds. The stories of
Dodola and Zam also provide lessons in Arabic script, religion, and
tradition. These lessons do not detract from the plot, which is focused
on the development of their relationship, but allow the reader a deeper
understanding of the context and meaning behind the choices the characters
make during their time together and apart. This hard-hitting graphic
novel may be difficult some for readers due to adult themes, but the
masterful storytelling is well worth reading. Recommended by Melissa, March 2012 |

Short Stories
 |
Cain, Shannon The Necessity of Certain Behaviors Short Stories |
| The necessary behaviors in these short stories demand
a lot of negotiation. In one, a woman struggles to balance relationships
with both a boyfriend and girlfriend. In another, a divorcée manages
a successful marijuana business and the demands of single motherhood.
A cage cleaner at the Queer Zoo is the only straight employee, and
his insistence on staying closeted is causing tension with his girlfriend.
Obviously, moments of hilarious misunderstanding ensue in these stories—often
via wittily sarcastic dialogue. Shannon Cain’s clipped descriptions
convey poetic familiarity with the characters’ thoughts and settings.
Characters often demonstrate their feelings for each other by proxy—accepting
the gift of a puppy or compulsively cleaning an apartment. Beyond
the pyrotechnics of these stories’ unconventional premises lie heartfelt
explorations of loneliness and companionship. Cain portrays these
situations with acceptance that allows as much gravity as humor. Characters
tell their mothers wild lies, but they also call them for advice.
They ponder functional parenting and family alcoholism while they
try to prove the paternity of Bob Barker. The AAA travel agent intentionally
remapping customers’ vacations is also coping with her parents’ sudden
death in a car wreck. They each arrive at some realization about their
lives and connection to others—thanks to whatever behavior they found
necessary to bring them there. Recommended by Renée, January 2012 |
