People who engage in bookselling are called booksellers, bookwomen, or bookmen. The founding of libraries in 300 BC stimulated the energies of the Athenian booksellers. History [ edit] In Rome, toward the end of the republic, it became the fashion to have a library, and Roman booksellers carried on a flourishing trade. [1] The spread of Christianity naturally created a great demand for copies of the Gospels, other sacred books, and later on for missals and other devotional volumes for both church and private use. [2] The modern system of bookselling dates from soon after the introduction of printing. In the course of the 16th and 17th centuries the Low Countries for a time became the chief centre of the bookselling world. Modern book selling has changed dramatically with the advent of the Internet. With major websites such as Amazon, eBay, and other big book distributors offering affiliate programs, book sales have now, more than ever, been put in the hands of the small business owner. Modern era [ edit] Bookstores (called bookshops in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and most of the Commonwealth, apart from Canada) may be either part of a chain, or local independent bookstores. Stores can range in size offering from several hundred to several hundred thousand titles. They may be brick and mortar stores or internet only stores or a combination of both. Sizes for the larger bookstores exceed half a million titles. Bookstores often sell other printed matter besides books, such as newspapers, magazines and maps; additional product lines may vary enormously, particularly among independent bookstores. Colleges and universities often have their own student bookstore on campus that focuses on providing course textbooks and scholarly books, although some on-campus bookstores are owned by large chains such as WHSmith or Waterstone's in the United Kingdom, or Barnes & Noble College Booksellers in the United States, which is a private firm controlled by the chair of Barnes & Noble. Another common type of bookstore is the used bookstore or second-hand bookshop which buys and sells used and out-of-print books in a variety of conditions. [3] 4] A range of titles are available in used bookstores, including in print and out of print books. Book collectors tend to frequent used book stores. Large online bookstores offer used books for sale, too. Individuals wishing to sell their used books using online bookstores agree to terms outlined by the bookstore(s) for example, paying the online bookstore(s) a predetermined commission once the books have sold. In Paris, the Bouquinistes are antiquarian and used booksellers who have had outdoor stalls and boxes along both sides of the Seine for hundreds of years, regulated by law since the 1850s and contributing to the scenic ambience of the city. citation needed] See also [ edit] Book store shoplifting Books and publishing in Pakistan Bookstore tourism History of the book Independent bookstore List of bookstore chains List of LGBT bookstores List of independent bookstores Quarter bin Notes and references [ edit] Further reading [ edit] Davis, Joshua Clark, Una Mulzac, Black Woman Booksellers, and Pan-Africanism" AAIHS, September 19, 2016.

What's the 2nd song in the trailer. The booksellers diary. Average rating 3. 67 17, 886 ratings 2, 605 reviews, Start your review of The Bookseller Not really sure what to make of this book. It left me scratching my head and digging for answers as to what I read. I'm confident I understand the direction Swanson was going, for me, it failed in execution. Needless to say my reading journey was severely stunted. Swanson undoubtedly stepped out of the box. She demonstrated her originality while clearly setting herself apart. I have mixed feelings regarding Kitty/Katharyn, she has good intentions yet she contradicts these intentions in many... Kitty Miller and Frieda Green own and run a bookstore in Denver, Colorado. It is the 1960s, and their idyllic world includes books and all things bookish. But at night, Kitty lives in an alternate world created in her dreams: she is Katharyn Andersson, married to Lars, with triplets: Mitch, Missy, and Michael. And Michael is autistic. When Kitty first begins visiting her dream world, her life is almost perfect. But as she spends more time there, she realizes the challenges of this world. And then... What's going on in publishing these days? Is the same designer responsible for all these covers? If so, good job, designer. You won again. These covers always pull me in because of course they do. Why wouldn't they? None of these books have lived up to their covers, sadly. Don't get me wrong. I liked this one. It's a solid story with good writing and an interesting premise. Unfortunately, I got a little tired of it. Also, it made me feel sad but not in the way I like to feel sad. It made me feel... Cynthia Swansons THE BOOKSELLER is ostensibly a story of two realities, one in which protagonist Kitty is a 38-year-old single woman who runs a failing bookstore with her life-long best friend and lives alone with her cat, and another in which Kitty (now called Katharyn) is married with three children, living the typical 1960s suburban family life. Kitty-the-bookseller is convinced that her experiences as married Katharyn are dreams, a fantasy place she visits as she drifts off to sleep. As... I expected to love this story. It takes place in the sixties and follows an independent woman who owns a book shop. She begins living in a parallel world in her dreams at night. When awake, she's the bookshop owner with her best friend. She has a cat and loves her parents and is helping the neighbor boy learn to read. When she's asleep she's the mother of triplets with this blue-eyed husband who takes her to cocktail parties. There's a situation with one of the kids that I didn't know what to make... I am sorry but Ms Swanson didn't get me in at all while this was well written endearing & the characters you felt for I just couldn't keep going as I didn't know where this was going, mind you this was her first novel, I have read her other novel and enjoyed it. Kitty was one of the saddest characters I have ever read she dreams of a happy life husband children everyone wants that don't they? but when she wakes she is still living a mundane life running Thus Girls a bookstore with her best... Kitty Miller is single. She owns a business with her best friend, Frieda, and she is pretty contented with her independent life and her cat. Then she falls asleep one night and finds herself in an alternate reality in which she is Katharyn, a married woman with children, a loving husband, and a much more complicated but fuller life. Dreaming of this life once is like taking a trip, but Kitty dreams of this life over and over again and the line between reality and dreaming begins to blur. I adore... Denver 1962. Single gal, Kitty, runs a bookshop with her best friend, Frieda. Marriage and a family never became part of the plan, but Kitty has a good family and friend network and the faithful love of her cat, Aslan. Cynthia Swanson plays with the "What if. question that often haunts us, as we get older. For Kitty it happens through her dreams. Into this alternate reality, Kitty is Kathryn, married to the blue eyed Swedish -American architect that answered her dating advertisement in 1954... This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This was a read I quickly became immersed in. The gentle cadence and details of the story absorbed my attention and I couldn't put the book down this morning as my coffee grew cold. One of the aspects of the unfolding of the story was in the beginning there is a clear delineation between reality and the fantasy world that the main character dreams herself into. As the story reveals more, the lines between reality and fantasy blur, both for Kitty Miller/Katharyn Andersson and the reader... This book is beautiful! B e a u t i f u l! Absolutely heart wrenching, heartbreaking, and heartwarming! The biggest question in this book is "What if. It's bittersweet, surprising and talks about different subjects such as autism, grieve, ailment, love, friendship, books and family. It's also set in the sixties which is different and interesting. I highlighted ALL the books mentioned here! I must read them all! An interesting twist on the classic "what if" tale. One huge pet peeve: the crappy Spanish of Alma the housekeeper. Seriously, couldn't Harper get someone who actually knows Spanish to check that the author's Spanish was accurate? Btw, not only was it not accurate, it was actually ATROCIOUS. I don't know about you. but I would love to own a bookshop and have these dreams... The Bookseller was a pretty interesting book. I feel like I flew through the kindle version because it just kept reminding me of other little books. Sort of like Outlander, but not really. In this book, you will meet Katharyn and Lars. Whenever she goes to sleep, well she wakes up in this different world (sort of. Maybe I should dive more into that? Same world but a different time zone is probably a bit easier... This Cynthia Swanson's first novel. The plot is set in Denver in the 1960s, Miss Kitty Miller(30) is single & dreams of a new life to be Mrs. Kathryn Anderson(30) married to a rich Man. Kitty is a unhappy school teacher, from parents for failing their children. Her best friend, Frieda Green's advertisement job has too much pressure. They open a simple Sisters' Bookstore & must consider moving from the city to the suburbs were businesses are growing. Kitty is lonely & calls a... Bittersweet. The book is about a woman named Kitty who lives another life in her dreams where she is Katharyn. It is one of those books where one decision could have lead to a different path. Or is it? This book had many layers, and presented some twists (which were blatantly obvious. It was well written and engaging, but at the same time predictable. It was a good read though. I received an uncorrected proof copy of this novel from HarperCollins. In 1962 Denver, Kitty Miller is content with her unconventional life as an unmarried woman who runs a bookshop with her best friend, Frieda. That is until she begins to dream about an alternate path her life may have taken - one in which she goes by Katharyn and is married to the love of her life and is a stay at home mother. Kitty begins to question the path her life has taken at the same time that the division between her... 3. 5 bumped to 4 At the beginning of “The Bookseller”, I thought, “goodie, book candy! Im in the mood”. And then…. ”Something wicked this way comes”. The novel is told from the prospective of Kitty, aka, Katharyn. We learn that Kitty loves to dream and her imagination is impressive. As a big dreamer myself, I understood Kittys love of her dreamland. Ive had more than a few occasions where I was abruptly woken and I think, “Wait, I want to finish my dream. ” And, Ive had the occasions where I... The Bookseller is a first-time novel for Cynthia Swanson. Katharyn/Kitty, the main character kept me engrossed in this novel from page one. In the Bookseller, Swanson takes us on a startling journey where a woman is thrust into an alternate world that might have been, if she had made different decisions. The Bookseller is a wonderful exploration of identity, love and loss. The 1960's tone is elegant, slightly mysterious, and thoroughly engrossing. The Bookseller's plot fascinated me, was well... What an interesting concept. When Kitty Miller goes to sleep she is in a different life only a few months ahead of where she is now in her life. She is married with three kids. In her real life she is single running a bookstore with her best friend Frieda. Her dreams feel very real with her and she is finding out there are parts of her dreams she likes and parts of her awake life she likes. There are also parts that are disappointing in both lives. But are they really dreams. I really enjoyed... Kitty wakes up and she's not in her bedroom. She is in an unfamiliar room, but the last thing she remembers is painting her bedroom with help from her best friend and co-owner of their bookstore. What has happened? So begins Cynthia Swanson's compelling novel, The Bookseller. A handsome man comes into the unfamiliar room, claiming to be her husband, and reminding her that she has two young children who need her, one of whom is running a fever. But Kitty is not married and does not have children... It's tough to say much about this book without giving away the entire plot. It's 1962 and Kitty is torn between two lives. One in which she's a conventional married mother of triplets, and the other where she's a single 38 year old woman who runs a small bookshop with her long time best friend Frieda. Presented in dreams and flashbacks the mystery is of course trying to figure out which parts are reality. The book references are fun, and what mother hasn't wondered what life would have been like... I went back and forth two or three stars. The writing quality was excellent but the plot construction was poor with a big- losing the reader why am I eve
The booksellers (2019. Forget mainstream, cliche comedies or action films. This is more my speed. This is the third and final part of our year-end series wherein we ask booksellers to tell us about the highlights of their year in reading. You can read parts one and two over here. * Jeff Waxman, bookseller-at-large Article continues after advertisement For Christmas last year, my girlfriend got us a membership to the New York Mycological Society and so when the sun rose on January 1st we were stalking about a frozen Central Park with the other mushroom enthusiasts in search of cold fungus. For the next six months, I was absolutely mushroom crazy and it was in the throes of this mania that I latched onto books like Flowers of Mold and The Mushroom at the End of the World, and Fungipedia, even though Flowers of Mold by Ha Seung-Nan and translated by Janet Hong isnt really about mushrooms at all. Instead, its a sinister collection of short stories that really gets into your head?a series of crushed dreams and failed promises and social decay that is at once oppressively real and strangely cold. Which kind of sets the scene for 2019. Or it would have, but Anna Tsings The Mushroom at the End of the World, an exploration of the natural, economic, ecological, and cultural life of the matsutake mushroom, tells a different kind of story. Said to be the first thing to grow in the bomb-blasted ruins of Hiroshima, the matsutake holds an extraordinary place in Japanese life and the logistics around importing this elusive mushroom have far-reaching and extraordinary connections to distant lands and far-flung people. Subtitled On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins, the matsutakes story is expansive and this book is the key to understanding the role that a single commodity can have in a global network, and the hope that we still can have when it seems that everything is coming apart. Of these three books, Fungipedia is the book that comes closest to an actual jaunt with the mycological society. Though Lawrence Millman guides us through mushroom lore more than genetics and taxonomy, he does so with glee, relish, and a warm familiarity gained from a lifetime of expertise and deep knowledge. Both of these were published by the fun guys at Princeton University Press. I dont know how I only happened on Ottessa Moshfegh this year, but I am outraged that it took my friends so long to recommend Eileen. I wont presume to tell you that Moshfegh is very good. She knows it and everyone who has spent any time with me knows that I know it and you probably know it, too. We dont have to talk about it here. But after I read her first novel, I picked up McGlue, Homesick for Another World, and My Year of Rest and Relaxation in quick and greedy succession, then spent the early months of the year looking for more voices like hers. What I learned is that there are no voices quite like hers, but I did find some that were plenty exciting and one of those was Halle Butler and her novel The New Me. The creep of economic precarity and labor insecurity into the millennial generation of the upper middle class, the notable absence of men in the lives of women, and a potent strain of social hostility together make this pretty much THE novel to read to understand the women of my generation. Butler doesnt pretty anything up, not the ambivalence about bullshit jobs or the professional striving or the materialist hunger for lifestyle and unearned satisfaction, and especially not the noxious depression and lingering hope that drive this novels action. Its a story full of private shame made public and almost-guilty admissions, perfect for readers of Helen DeWitt. And in case this doesnt sound funny, our heroine is even named Millie. The millennial. You can laugh now. At some point, an enterprising publicist?probably another millennial working a thankless job?had the good sense to send me Shashi Tharoors Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India, out now in paperback from Scribe. Originally researched for a speech in favor of reparations to India from Britain, Tharoor laid out a history of the British Empire in India that definitely wasnt taught when I was in grade school. Before 1600, India was the seat of some of the greatest and most technologically advanced societies in the world. Fully a quarter of the global economy?fabrics, metals, and trade?was Indian. But then the British East India Company systematically squeezed India, turning one of the richest countries in the world into one of Englands poorest colonies. This book details how the theft of a nations wealth by a private corporation masquerading as a government created Great Britain as we know it, but Tharoor also offers a crucial understanding of colonial economics and the origin of wealth, and a window into just what Facebook, Google, and Amazon are doing to us all right now. Article continues after advertisement After nearly 15 years of working in and around books I realized recently that there were gaping holes in my engagement with them?namely, I hadnt been reading drama and that I had never been in a book club. I rectified both problems by starting a club to read contemporary drama aloud with a friend and a little help from Coffee House Press. At our first meeting, eight of us performed Savage Conversations by LeAnne Howe, a series of imagined dialogues between Mary Todd Lincoln and Savage Indian, a stand-in for the Native ghosts that tormented her at the end of her life. In 1862, as the history goes, President Lincoln ordered the hanging of 38 Dakota Sioux in the largest mass execution in United States history; decades later his widow was declared insane by the courts when she claimed that she was visited and tortured each night by a savage. I want to call these dialogues?and occasional monologues by the hanging rope?essentially nonfictional because the circumstances are all true, but theyre also a kind of historical fabulism that defies characterization. As a man from Illinois it was especially challenging to confront the cult of personality that still exists around Lincoln, but performing and discussing this work with thoughtful people was just what I needed. In February, were meeting again to read Norma Jeane Baker of Troy, Anne Carsons blend of the lives of the classical Helen and Marilyn Monroe in a slim little volume out next year from New Directions. I feel like every honest best-of-the-year list for 2019 will have to include Go Ahead in the Rain and A Fortune for Your Disaster. I loved them both and I sell them avidly, but Im going to let other people continue to tell you how brilliant Hanif Abdurraquib is and instead bring your attention to five other amazing books by the same publishers: the University of Texas Presss posthumous reprints of Blood Orchid, Blues for Cannibals, Some of the Dead Are Still Breathing, and Dakotah ?the first four books in Charles Bowdens Unnatural History of the United States sextet?and Jeanne Vanascos stunning Things We Didnt Talk About When I Was a Girl from Tin House. The first three of these titles by Bowden were published late last year and I didnt get a chance to read them until I was on the road with the bookmobile in June. What I read blew me away?alternating paragraphs of gorgeous nature writing and deeply alienated, noirish meditations on the brutality and destructiveness of humankind in general and Americans in particular. Spread across four volumes?so far?this is the narrative of a man on the edge of civilization; the rhythm of his prose is powerful, aggressive, and compulsive, like a hardboiled detective novel. Reading these books is a bleak and beautiful way to lose ones mind. I burned through the most recent, Dakotah, on my way back from celebrating Thanksgiving and it could not have been a better book for reflecting on who we are as a nation and whose land were dining on. Jeannie Vanascos Things We Didnt Talk About When I Was a Girl is at once difficult to read and difficult to put down. It is the kind of book that should be required reading for men, but its almost impossible to recommend to anyone casually. Vanascos memoir recounts her experience as a victim of a rape perpetrated by one of her closest friends from high school, just a short while after graduation. What follows is a succession of complex documents?transcripts of her conversations with her one-time friend, conversations between her and her current partner, between her and her editor, between her and the people close to her, and, most painful of all, her own reflections on these conversations. Its hard and hard to write something this personal, harder still to strip the process down enough to tell a story that wounded the author so totally in a way that anyone else can understand, but Vanasco does it. This is challenging stuff. I also read two competing views of teenage masculinity from two very different parts of the world this year. In The Sun on my Head, written by Geovani Martins and translated by Julia Sanches for FSG, Martins parables of tender masculinity are so beautifully rendered in such a natural dialogue that it brings us straight onto the blinding beaches of Rio and the desperate walled-in streets of the favela. For Martins, this is home, and his stories are so evocative, so full of life and motion, that I was floored. On the other end of the spectrum, all of the sun-drenched privation of Brazil was replaced by grim skies and relative privilege of Hungary in Dead Heat by Benedek Totth. Translated from Hungarian by Ildikó Noémi Nagy for Biblioasis, this novel is guaranteed to make you fucking squirm in either happiness or discomfort. Following a tight-knit crew of teenage swimmers as they engage in every kind of adolescent depravity, this novel unselfconsciously revels in the easy availability of sex and drugs, booze and drugs, video games, casual criminality, fast cars, and uh, murder. Things take a turn toward toward the psychological thrill

Philip Jones is editor-in-chief of the weekly print edition of the magazine and the website. [1] The magazine is home to the Bookseller/Diagram Prize for Oddest Title of the Year, a humorous award given annually to the book with the oddest title. The award is organised by The Bookseller' s diarist, Horace Bent, and had been administered in recent years by the former deputy editor, Joel Rickett, and former charts editor, Philip Stone. We Love This Book is its quarterly sister consumer website and email newsletter. The subscription-only magazine is read by around 30, 000 persons each week, in over 90 countries, and contains the latest news from the publishing and bookselling worlds, in-depth analysis, pre-publication book previews and author interviews. It is the first publication to publish official weekly bestseller lists in the UK. It has also created the first UK-based e-book sales ranking. The website is visited by 160, 000 unique users each month. The magazine also produces approximately a dozen specials on an annual basis including its Books of The Year and four "Buyers Guides. The Bookseller also publishes three daily newspapers at the annual London Book Fair, in April, the Bologna Children's Book Fair and the Frankfurt Book Fair, in October. History [ edit] The Bookseller was founded by Joseph Whitaker, the first editor of the magazine, in January 1858, and was marketed as "A Handbook of British and Foreign Literature. His sons, Joseph Vernon Whitaker and George Herbert Whitaker took over editorship of The Bookseller in 1875 and 1895 respectively, with George Herbert Whitaker taking the decision in 1909 to move the magazine from a monthly to a weekly publication. However, World War I severely disrupted publication and it was not until the late 1920s that the magazine resumed its weekly schedule. In 1928, The Bookseller entered troublesome years, with the magazine entering joint editorial control between both The Publishers Association and the Booksellers Association. It was edited by the Publishers Association president Geoffrey S. Williams and became known as The Publisher and Bookseller. However, the decision proved less than successful, and in 1933 the decision was reversed, with editorship being awarded to Edmond Segrave ? 28 years old at the time. He remained in charge for almost 40 years. [2] In 1945, he hired Philothea Thompson as his personal assistant, and when Edmond Segrave died in 1971, she took over stewardship of the magazine until 1976. David Whitaker joined his family magazine in 1977 for little over two years, with Louis Baum assuming editorial responsibilities in 1980. Under Baum, the magazine went under radical change, with numerous design changes, culminating in the decision to become a full-colour publication in the late 1990s. The self-named "legendary diarist" Horace Bent, made his first appearance during this time (although "his" Bookseller/Diagram Prize for Oddest Title of the Year began in the late 1970s) while the magazine also began to feature the first Nielsen BookScan bestseller lists. [2] In 1999, Nicholas Clee became editor, months before the magazine was sold to a division of Nielsen Business Media. In 2004 Retail Week ′s Neill Denny arrived and oversaw another major redesign, which included the controversial decision to move its "Publications of the Week" information online only. [2] Modern day [ edit] Following the demise of Publishing News, The Bookseller is the only paper magazine reporting on the UK publishing, bookselling and library industry on a weekly basis, although the magazine also includes frequent stories, features and columns from the international scene. Numerous famous names from the UK book trade contribute to the magazine via the opinion columns, including Kate Mosse and Anthony Horowitz, while the website provides a forum for anyone to voice their opinions on news and features concerning the trade. In 2010, The Bookseller was acquired from Nielsen by its then Managing Director, Nigel Roby, who owns it to this day.

The booksellers movie. Im biased, but I think that booksellers are the most generous, thoughtful, and devoted readers we have. Generous, because they read with one eye always on other readers, often making mental lists of specific people to recommend certain titles to. Thoughtful, because we are not algorithms supplying a “you liked this, youll like that” equation; rather, we ask questions, we try to get to the heart of why you liked a specific book, and offer suggestions based on that. And devoted, because who reads more than booksellers? Even in a small store, like the one I own in Point Reyes, our booksellers have read several hundred?books this year. That collective experience informs decisions about what we stock and, by extension, what we sell to readers hungry for something that speaks to them. For these reasons and more, I am excited for what I hope becomes an annual tradition on Lit Hub, a series of recaps from booksellers across the world about what books struck a chord with them in the past year. Below is part one of four, coming out between now and the New Year. ?Stephen Sparks, Point Reyes Books (and Lit Hub contributing editor) Joshua Bohnsack, Volumes Bookcafe One of the most depressing parts of working as a bookseller is trying to keep up with new releases and contemporary classics. Its part of the job, but limits the amount of what I passionately want to read versus what I want to read to be able to sell or promote. Im constantly afraid Ill fall behind on recommendations, so I started utilizing audiobooks from the library and ALCs from to up the amount of books I could take in. Im a slow reader, so whenever Id go on a run, I would listen to books that I couldnt find the time to read otherwise. Of course, it made for an awkward few hours listening to “The Part About the Murders” in Bolaños 2666 on my go-to running trail.?While Ive been a devotee of indie presses, audiobooks gave me the opportunity to read outside my small press comfort zone. Im an avid story collection reader. Some of my favorites this year were Ghost Engine by Christian TeBordo (Bridge Eight Press) Sweet Home by Wendy Erskine (Stinging Fly Press) and Wild Milk by Sabrina Orah Marks (Dorothy. ?These collections pushed back against form and structure, and Im a sucker for a good, weird story. As I finished my MFA this year, I spent a lot of time working on a novel for my thesis, so I tried to read a lot of novels to figure out just what a novel is. I noticed some of my favorites of this year could fit the elevator pitch of “feminist wilderness novel” (but so much more) including The Book of X by Sarah Rose Etter (Two Dollar Radio) Hard Mouth by Amanda Goldblatt (Counterpoint) and Stay and Fight by madeline ffitch (FSG. I learned a lot about interiority and style from Halle Butlers The New Me (Penguin) and Chia Chia Lins The Unpassing (FSG. We put out our first novel on my small publishing company, Long Day Press, which was Chase Griffins Florida-man oddity, Whats On the Menu? which pushed me to reconsider how to work with book design in a longer format than the chapbooks we usually publish. I think I read more novels this year than ever before. Article continues after advertisement Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino (Random House) was the big book that lived up to its hype this year. For customers who enjoyed it, I like to suggest Andre Perrys Some of Us Are Very Hungry Now (Two Dollar Radio) as a follow up. Though they are quite different books, they both address contemporary American life in fascinating ways. The other personal essay collection that followed me all year was The Word Pretty by Elissa Gabbert (Black Ocean. Itll make you rethink language, as a close second to the strange little revised edition of Understanding Molecular Typography by H. F. Henderson (Ugly Duckling Presse. This abbreviated textbook convinced me letters are alive, and each word is a moral dilemma. If I never finish my novel, Im blaming it on Henderson. Some of the best work I read all year were pieces in literary magazines. When Im browsing another store, I always try to pick up an issue of something that looks interesting. Lit mags are like mixtapes from the editors. Its encouraging to see a customer pick up a lit mag, and maybe find their new favorite writer, and isnt that a reward of the job? Joshua Bohnsack is the assistant managing editor for TriQuarterly, founding editor for Long Day Press, and received an MFA from Northwestern University. He is the author of Shift Drink (Spork Press 2020) and his work has appeared in The Rumpus, Hobart, SAND, and elsewhere. He lives in Chicago where he works as a bookseller. Lewis Buzbee, bookseller emeritus A couple of months ago, a good friend?novelist and voracious reader?posted a lament about the state of the novel today. They found the novel wanting and pale, and wondered if the novels relevance had ended. I had to disagree, and most vehemently. My own novel reading over the past year had been filled with astonishing new discoveries, a raft of them. So I countered my friend, social-medially, with a short list of novels Id found audacious in their talent, as well as urgently relevant to our confusing times. I remember that Richard Powerss The Overstory topped that list. My friend e-paused, reconsidered. Yes, we finally agreed, the novel was, today, thriving and vibrant and abundant. The novel, of course, has been declared “dead” or “superfluous” for a long time. In the 19th century, the sudden popularity of the bicycle was believed to be the death knell for the novel, as well as all reading. In the early 1960s, op-eds in magazines and newspapers declared the novel long past dead, around the same time they said the same about God. In the 1990s, non-fiction, especially the memoir, was deemed superior, the novels more credible sibling. Then of course came the smartphone, the machine that launched a thousand laments. And yet the novel survives, and based on my reading from last year, thrives. Here are a few?and only a few?of the novels I read last year that gave me great pleasure and changed how I saw the world. The Overstory by Richard Powers. Powers turned the question upside down, not, what can nature give me, but what can I give nature? My view of the world had not been so transformed since I read The Grapes of Wrath when I was 15. I had heard about The Overstory, naturally, but it wasnt until a great stack of the paperback appeared on the front desk of my local shop that I snatched it up. Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Evaristo. A swirling, almost Dickensian look at a dozen or more Black British women that is hilarious and heartbreaking, and offered a glimpse of life Id not encountered. The world got bigger after reading this. When it won the Booker Prize, a stack of this beautiful paperback appeared on the same corner of the front counter where Id found The Overstory. I submitted to that seduction in half a second. It wasnt the award, it was the book and its placement. Milkman by Anna Burns. This unsettling account of life under “The Troubles” redefined that place and time for me, but Burnss amazing prose, as if the language were turned inside out to reveal its eventual clarity, showed me how many ways there are of naming the world. This hefty and gorgeous paperback appeared on the feature table just inside the shops entrance, the first place my eye travels when I visit. The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murieta by John Rollin Ridge and America Is in the Heart by Carlos Bulosan. These overlooked?and unknown to me?classics of California literature sat side by side over shelf talkers on a table deep in the store. Ive read an enormous amount of California lit in my life, but both were new to me, and both refreshed my sense of the scope of my state and its history. It was the shelf talkers that did me in. And the reading of the Bulosan led me to find Elaine Castillos America Is Not the Heart, a riveting story of immigrant life in the Bay Area. One book so often leads to the next. Each one of these novels?and the many more I havent included?opened up the world for me, showed me the familiar in a new light, and the strange with bright clarity. Each of these novels became, as Steinbeck once wrote, “a wedge in [this] readers brain. ” But heres what else these books have in common. I bought them all at my local bookshop, Green Apple Books on the Park in San Francisco. No, its better than that. Not bought them at the bookshop, but because of the bookshop. These were not novels Id set out to find; they were novels that the bookshop set in front of me. And of course, when I say the bookshop did all this, I mean the booksellers. Two social inventions, the novel and the bookshop, both of them declared dead quite often, still work together to keep this reader from complacency, to keep this reader engaged in the world. Its what they do. Once upon a time, I managed two Bay Area bookshops, Upstart Crow in Campbell and Printers Inc. in Palo Alto, both of them, alas, gone now. After that, I was the northern California sales rep for Chronicle Books, and happily visited bookstores every day. Im the author of The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop. Danny Caine, Raven Bookstore One thing about having your first child is your reading habits need to be reinvented. In part, its a matter of simply having less time to read. But its also a matter of being more tired or distracted when you do have time to read. So I found myself searching for books that absolutely commanded me, demanding my attention and refusing to let it go. The two books that did that most effectively were Colson Whiteheads The Nickel Boys and Ilya Kaminskys Deaf Republic. Theyre both books that find a range of feeling in their tragic stories: funny, devastating, ironic, bitter, elegiac. Theyre both books Im still thinking about long after I finished reading them (I actually read The Nickel Boys twice because I had to see how Whitehead pulled off that ending
