Books Editor (673 KP) shared own list

Two finalists for the National Book Awards appear on this week’s New York Times list: Frank Bidart’s collected poems, “Half-Light,” and Carmen Maria Machado’s debut collection of stories, “Her Body and Other Parties.”

We’re nearing the season for ghost stories — or in some cases un-ghost stories and cautionary tales about what happens when we try too hard to put our history behind us.

"This searing debut novel by one of my favorite authors –and author of several Black Panther comics – is one I am savoring now and one that will continue to resonate for years to come."

"This one is a gem—smart, funny, and just what a debut collection should be. Also, of every story I know of that’s narrated by a dog (really), “My Humans,” is the joyous best."
