Book Review|A New Novel Confronts the Scale and Gravity of Climate Change https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/10/books/review/stephen-markley-deluge.html THE DELUGE, by Stephen Markley “Après nous, le déluge,”Louis XV quipped to his mistress and political adviser Madame de Pompadour, waving his hand, one imagines, from a mirrored hall of royal privilege.

The 15 Most Memorable Books I Read in 2021
Why most memorable? Because “best” and “top” in my opinion aren’t really helpful when it comes to book recommendations. Some books make an impact. Some don’t. These did. As you’ll see, some of these books were not published this year. A few were holdovers from last year that I never got around to reading… and a few more were books that I’ve always wanted to read that I finally made time for.

Book Reviews
Book Review 11/6/2019 By Tamsyn Muir Tor Books 437 pages Sept. 10, 2019 $25.99 ‘Gideon the Ninth’ Serious fiction is important and valuable to the societal landscape, and it is rightly a focus of much scholarly work. However, sometimes you just need a crazy adventure story with necromancers, lesbian swordswomen and a premise so weird and wonderful that you can’t look away. “Gideon the Ninth” is exactly that book — ridiculous, wonderful, surprising and, above all else, powerfully entertaining.
This Debut Gets My Vote for the Next Great American Novel
OHIO by Stephen Markley is one of those rare reads that get into your DNA to reconfigure molecules so you are changed forever. Reading it is a nosedive into an unrelenting and intense universe full of hardship, pain, trauma, anger, and hints of love on the fringes. It’s a wildly remarkable debut novel, full of those sentences you underline, a plot you need to talk about, and characters who haunt you long after the last word. OHIO is singular. It is unprecedented.

On a lark, Gnarr formed the Best Party, a band of poets, punks, and pop musicians, and ran for Mayor of Reykjavik.

The Bookworm: Old-school mystery and high school clicks
The dream is one you’ll never forget. It’s dark, and scary, and it wakes you with pounding heart and dry mouth, a scream on your lips as your eyes slam open. It makes you afraid to go back to sleep.
