Here's what we'll offer you Sunday in the books pages of GuideLive: "A Person of Interest," by Susan Choi. Watch this space for an excerpt from the Houston-raised author's novel. "New Stories From the Southwest," by D. Seth Horton, editor: "It seems odd that these gems were collected and published by the decidedly non-Southwestern Swallow Press/Ohio University Press," writes reviewer Joy Tipping, "but readers should be grateful they noticed." "Yalo," by Elias Khoury. "To untangle his tale, a reader must follow Yalo into a vortex of memory and self-deceit, which Mr. Khoury beautifully portrays," writes critic John Freeman. "The Perfect Scent: A Year Inside the Perfume Industry in Paris and New York," an aromatic and sometimes venomous journey by Chandler Burr. "His Illegal Self," by Peter Carey. Mark Sarvas writes: "At the sentence-by-sentence level, Mr. Carey is a master of the craft. And, as in his previous novels, Mr. Carey is fearless with point of view, often risking intelligibility for effect." Look for it all Sunday. |
