Human Smoke by Nick Baker, The Resurrectionist by Jack O'Connell, Alan Furst's The Spy of Warsaw, Havana Deco, Jim Kunstler's The World Made by Hand, Love Letters from a Fat Man by Naomi Benaron, The Lazarus Project by Alexander Hemon, and I am trying to make space to get back to reading Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, Bolano's The Savage Detectives, and Denis Johnson's Tree of Smoke.
