New Books....
*"Trace Elements" ....A new Brunetti mystery (March). Perfect spring break novel.
*"Redhead by the Side of the Road." Coming in April....I admire an artist who sticks with her craft, year after year after year. This is a new Anne Tyler novel, already well-regarded, surely interested in "the muddle of everyday life." People like to announce that Tyler's career is over, but then a new novel makes her "buzzy" again; this happened with "Digging to America" and again with "A Spool of Blue Thread."
*"Rodham." Due in June. A Curtis Sittenfeld novel that imagines Hillary's life if she had more consistently, emphatically refused Bill's marriage proposals. Brilliant, pithy title: The word "Rodham" is iconic. What if it weren't attached to the word "Clinton"? Sittenfeld struck gold with "American Wife"--which was partly about Laura Bush--and I imagine she'll strike gold here, as well.
Can't wait!
