New this week . . .

What's new?

The new Stephen King novel, Lisey's Story, is "perhaps King's most personal and powerful novel: What begins as a widow's effort to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited"

Joyce Carol Oates has just published Black Girl/White Girl, a novel in which the protagonist recounts the "mysterious, violent, terrible death" suffered by her college roommate in 1975. Black Girl/White Girl is "a searing double portrait of 'black' and 'white', of race and civil rights in post-Vietnam America, captured by one of the most important literary voices of our time."
