And the Amazon Books Editors’ personal under-the-radar picks, in their
own words:
-
The Story of the Lost Child by Elena Ferrante:
The fourth and final of the “Neapolitan novels” by a pseudonymous
Italian author, The Story of the Lost Child is the finale to a
fascinating bunch of books about life, love, friendship, motherhood
and, oh yes, politics. Is it exaggeration to say that Elena Ferrante
is our Tolstoy? Maybe she’s more like Trollope, with a bit of
Knausgaard and Peyton Place thrown in. – Sara Nelson
-
The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood: This
dystopian fantasy is about a social experiment gone horribly awry. In
order to keep the unemployment rate in check, participants volunteer
to go to prison. And no one need fret if penitentiary orange is not
their color—it’ll be for six alternating months of the year, and the
rest of the time they will resume their civilian lives. What could
possibly go wrong? With echoes of The Handmaid’s Tale, this is
Atwood at her chilling best. – Erin Kodicek
-
Submission by Michel Houllebecq: This is a very
personal pick, as I’ve been reading Michel Houellebecq since The
Elemental Practices was published in 2000. Houellebecq is not for
everyone—unless you live in France, where he is a big best seller. I
don’t consider myself to be a card-carrying Francophile, but he’s so
atypical to the authors I normally read that I find myself looking
forward to his books. – Chris Schluep
-
Star Wars: Aftermath by Chuck Wendig: Given
Wendig’s electrifying writing and the setting of this book between Return
of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, I’m eager to see if
there are any hints revealed about the upcoming film. – Adrian Liang
-
Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words by
Randall Munroe: On the heels of his best-selling What If?,
Randall Munroe’s Thing Explainer describes how complex things
work—using only the 1,000 most common words in the English
language. The book will be fun. – Jon Foro
-
The Thing About Jellyfish by Ali Benjamin: Ali
Benjamin’s debut is one of the best books (for readers age 9 and up)
that I’ve read all year. Benjamin’s character, Suzy, is trying to make
sense of a loss by researching an obscure but not impossible
explanation. Suzy is endearing in her awkward innocence and her
steadfast convictions. It’s a rich, multilayered novel beautifully
told. – Seira Wilson
