What are you reading right now?
Right this second, I’m reading Nabokov’s Pale Fire, which is hilarious and brilliant.
What else have you been reading this summer?
I’ve been getting jazzy with Toni Morrison’s Jazz and my annual rereading of Baldwin’s “Sonny’s Blues.” I’m reading through my mentor and friend, Jaimy Gordon’s new novel Lord of Misrule. Also, some Vonnegut, some Atwood, some Barth, and more Nabokov.
Anything else you would recommend for our readers?
Some of my favorites:
Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man
Donald Ray Pollock’s Knockemstiff
George Saunders’ Civil War Land in Bad Decline
Daniel Orozco, everything, wherever you can find his stories
Stay tuned for the next installment of Contributors Read & Recommend.
