Recommended by Andrea, who writes: If you've never read Burke, this is the place to start. His Dave Robicheaux series transformed the mystery genre with its beautiful prose, its compassion and its complexity. Burke is one of our finest living mystery writers.

It is always a good thing when Larry McMurtry’s writing returns to the American West and his new novel, THE LAST KIND WORDS SALOON, takes one back to the grit and determination of the West. This time McMurtry features Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday and a cast of well-known historical characters culminating with the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. This work is more of a novella in its brevity, leaving you wanting more of these characters and situations. Fans of McMurtry will relish this gem.

Marina Keegan was a promising writer, just hired by the New Yorker, whose play was about to be produced in New York, whose stories and essays had already been published in prominent magazines and who tragically died in a car crash five days after graduating magna cum laude from Yale.

Her book of essays and stories, The Opposite of Loneliness, was published two years later and I picked up her book, not knowing any of her writing or her short life. In a review, J.R. Moehringer describes a “sorrow/joy” feeling while reading her book. Sorrow, for her short life so filled with promise, and joy that her insights and words provide hope for all of us. Marina’s voice leaps off the page and I savored every sentence.
