Margo's Pick
Josh Bazell: Beat the Reaper: A Novel
Bazell worked in a hospital, which explains all his medical knowledge, but how does he know so much about the mob and how did he get so funny? This novel is hilarious.
Ellen's Pick
- Elizabeth McCracken: An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination: A Memoir
In telling her story of delivering a stillborn child, McCracken is clear-eyed, not sentimental, which further emphasizes the depth of her loss.
