The Twin The Twin
by Bakker, Gerbrand, Colmer, David
The loneliness and the wide-open interior spaces of a life half lived - such is the thematic backdrop of this melancholy but engrossing Dutch novel about a farmer who has survived the death of his twin brother only to eventually realize (decades after receiving this fundamental blow to his identity) that life does still hold something for him, something uncanny and new. - Adam W.

Unique and provocative selections from a great diversity of voices...all personally recommended by the independent booksellers of America.
Sharp Teeth
by Barlow, Toby
It's a dog eat dog world in Toby Barlow's spellbinding debut novel set in L.A.. There is a war going on that involves an ancient race of werewolves, crystel meth labs, and an elderly woman living in the suburbs. There is also an inner story of romance between a werewolf and a local dogcatcher. All of this intertwines with a Mexican dog-fighting crew looking to exact revenge on the people responsible for the death of their leader. Told in verse, this is a howling tale of power, love and belonging in L.A.. This is an enormously enjoyable and eccentric tale!--Susan Schlesinger, Brown University Bookstore (Providence, RI)
