- A River Sutra, by Gita Mehta. From the back of the book:
"Evokes the Indian landscape so sharply that we can practically smell the night-blooming jasmine... the sense that things are richer and more meaningful than they seem, that life is both clear and mysterious, that the beauty and the horror of this world is irreducible and inexplicable." -Washington Post Book World
- Flaming Iguanas: An Illustrated All-Girl Road Novel Thing, by Erika Lopez. An excerpt:
"Magdalena and I are gonna cross America on two motorcycles. We're gonna be so cool, mirrors and windows will break when we pass by. We'll have our own hardcore theme music that makes us throw our heads back and bite the sky. Bugs may stick to my burgundy lipstick, but I'll just spit them back and they'll look all the prettier for it."
- The Abortion: An Historical Romance 1966, by Richard Brautigan. From the cover:
"This novel is about the romantic possibilities of a public library in California."
- House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski. From the back of the book:
Its secrets are rich and obscure. Danielewski's textured novel is about apprehensions, in all senses of the word: to anticipate with dread, to seize, to understand." -Gregory Maguire
Yeah, I'm pretty excited about these.
