We all know finding a good book is as essential and delicious as purchasing a new pair of Jimmy Choos or perhaps settling contentedly into your lovely Frette Linens.
A good read can tickle the senses and delight the soul so thoroughly that one can not imagine ever putting the book down and moving from the page back to the real world. After being bedazzled by The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini’s sumptuous sophomore effort A Thousand Splendid Suns and the latest Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows, this spring and summer, readers can look forward to a fall and winter reading season rich in books to entertain, inform and provoke.
Fall reads offer no shortage of intriguing and thoughtful works from noted authors such as popular fiction divas Patricia Cornwell and Sue Grafton. Patricia Cornwell with the latest installment of her Kay Scarpetta crime fighter novel titled Book of The Dead, while alphabet lady Sue Grafton, she of the single letter book titles-A is for Apple, B is for book, D is for “Does anyone else find these letter titles annoying?”- will release T is for Trespass in December. Evidently mine is a lone annoyance as Ms. Grafton is published in twenty-eight countries and twenty-six languages with a readership in the millions.
If you crave something more intellectually muscular than the latest James Patterson novel don’t fret, there is much to consume. Of particular note are two books: Maria Kalman’s The Principles of Uncertainty and the Anne Packer novel Songs Without Words. Maira Kalman is a noted illustrator, children’s author and designer famed for her whimsical The New Yorker magazine covers and original and quirky writing. Kalman also pens a New York Times online column of the same name as her soon to be released book. The Principles of Uncertainty will contend with existential topics such as “who are we” and “what makes us happy”. Bestselling author Anne Packer will try to re-create the magic of The Dive from Clausen’s Pier in the highly anticipated late Summer/early Fall release of Songs With Out Words.
Finally, on a more somber note, readers should put all eyes on Phillip Gourevitch and Errol Moris’s The Ballad of Abu Ghraib scheduled for a late winter release. Gourevitch, author of the haunting and award-winning We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families: Stories From Rwanda—a masterful book on the Rwandan genocide, along with filmmaker Errol Moris, will provide a full reckoning of what really took place at Abu Ghraib prison. This story is based on hundred of hours of exclusive interviews with Americans involved and is certain to be as enthralling and vivid as the rest of Gourevitch’s well regarded work. Look for a documentary to follow.
