Recommended reading from the Book Review, including stories by K-Ming Chang, Heather Radke on butts and more.
The unnamed, aging narrator of this novel lives alone in a house in Florida he once shared with his mother. He reminisces, walks along a swamp-like lake and befriends a conservative gay man named Earl. Eschewing big, dramatic events, Holleran renders the quotidian passage of time in meticulous, heart-wrenching detail.
