I Am Not Sidney Poitier by Percival Everett
"Driven by the most sidesplitting dialogue this side of Catch-22, Everett's latest tells the story of a young man named Not Sidney Poitier who bears an uncanny resemblance to the famed actor. . . . Not only is the novel smart and without a trace of pretentiousness, it shows Everett as a novelist at the height of his narrative and satirical powers."
The Looking House by Fred Marchant
“In a time of a historical nightmare, Fred Marchant manages to give us
a lyrical impulse that consoles. Few American poets, these days, tell
us the truth. But Marchant’s new book gives us dwellings, tears,
tenderness, flood, escape. In a time of lies and mediocre ironies in
literature, here is the voice that is never afraid to say what matters.
This is the poetry of home, yes—but the many doors and windows in this
book first and foremost ‘teach the heart how to be a heart.’ I read
these poems with joy.”
