3. ‘The Best Minds: A Story of Friendship, Madness, and the Tragedy of Good Intentions’
Written By Jonathan Rosen
Nonfiction | This chilling tale will conclude with a murder that garnered widespread media attention. Since they were both 10 years old, Rosen and the ultimate murderer, Michael Laudor, were pals. Rosen poses difficult but important issues throughout this memoir/manifesto that are all intriguing, some of which are unanswerable Novel. The end effect is a sharp yet personal tour de force. ($32; Penguin Press)
4. ‘Birnam Wood’
Written By Eleanor Catton

With witty dramatizations of political, technological, and environmental challenges, her most recent Novel is a slick modern thriller starring a bunch of guerilla gardeners.

5. ‘Collected Works’
Written By Charles Portis
Fiction | On a protracted bus journey home from New York, a former Marine from the Texas Panhandle adopts a performing chicken. It turns out that a heartbreakingly ineffective pseudo-religion contains actual cosmic truth. In rural Mexico, a tough, barely repented antiquities smuggler stumbles upon unusual love. These kinds of events may be found throughout Portis’s unique works. Here, along with his writings and journalism, are collected “True Grit” and the remainder of his humorous, offbeat Novel. ($45; Library of America)
6. ‘Confidence’
Written By Rafael Frumkin
Fiction | The beginning of “Confidence” features a scrappy underdog who is struggling. The spiky but fragile Ezra Green, the narrator of Frumkin’s book, meets fellow thief Orson Ortman, who is the attractive and alluring Jay Gatsby to his Nick Carraway, and the two of them attempt to swindle the wellness sector. This criminal Novel with social commentary is a fast-paced, witty page-turner that will fulfil your thirst for a well-executed caper. ($27.99; Simon & Schuster)
7. ‘The Covenant of Water’
Written By Abraham Verghese

What is the family’s secret? Despite the fact that people who believe they have “The Condition” do all in their power to avoid getting wet, “in every generation Novel… at least one member has drowned unintentionally.” (Grove, $32)

Written By Lucinda Williams

She was raised in 12 different locations by the time she was 18 and was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the granddaughter of Methodist preachers on both sides Novel. Even though she wasn’t always aware of it, songwriting was a method for her to digest her difficult upbringing and communicate about it without really talking about it. (Crown, $28.99)

Written By Emma Cline

10. ‘Happy Place’
Written By Emily Henry
Fiction | Despite the fact that “Happy Place” is Henry’s most sombre Novel to date, you should still pack this romantic classic for your next beach trip. One couple, who are still not over each other, can’t stand to tell their pals they are no longer together when they all gather for a trip to Maine. In true Henry form, “Happy Place” leaves readers satisfied until the very last page by bringing them humour, charm, and emotion. $27 for Berkeley
