The Master (Paperback)
$7.00
ISBN-13: 9780743250412Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Scribner, 05/01/2005
"Henry James is one of the masters of American fiction, and in this wonderful new book Toibin works magic, conjuring images of the author in unforgettable prose, evoking not just the man, but his writing as well. The result is a brilliant, believable (fictional) portrait of a most remarkable man." --Kathy Ashton, The King's English, Salt Lake City, UT
The Plague of Doves (Paperback)
$14.99
ISBN-13: 9780060515133Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Harper Perennial, 05/01/2009
"Louise Erdrich's latest spans a century in the small town of Pluto, North Dakota. It begins with a murder and a wrongful lynching, and then follows the descendants of those involved. The Plague of Doves showcases her trademark blend of pathos, comedy, magical realism, and epic narration, and it's a novel I will read again just to admire the skill with which all the pieces of the puzzle gently fall into place. Highly recommended." --Dana Schulz, Snowbound Books, Marquette, MI

Watchmen (Paperback)
$19.99
ISBN-13: 9780930289232Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: DC Comics, 04/01/1995
"What Alan Moore crafted in the late 1980s unarguably catapulted the graphic novel to the forefront of pop culture and contemporary literature. Employing a deconstructed superhero persona, a comic within a comic, and a brutally honest commentary on American optimism, Moore gave rise to something exceedingly greater than the sum of its parts." --Katie Capaldi, McLean & Eakin Booksellers, Petoskey, MI
