Eating Animals
by Jonathan Safran Foer

Brilliantly synthesizing philosophy, literature, science, memoir, and the author’s own detective work, Eating Animals explores the many fictions we use to justify our eating habits—from folklore to pop culture, family traditions, and national myth—and how such tales can lull us into a brutal forgetting. Marked by Foer’s profound moral ferocity and unvarying generosity, as well as the vibrant style and creativity that made his novels Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close widely loved, Eating Animals is a celebration and a reckoning, a story about the stories we’ve told—and the stories we now need to tell.

Let the Great World Spin
by Colum McCann

The winner of the 2009 National Book Award for Fiction, Let the Great World Spin is a dazzlingly rich vision of the pain, loveliness, mystery, and promise of New York City in the 1970s. A sweeping and radical social novel, it captures the spirit of America in a time of transition, extraordinary promise, and, in hindsight, heartbreaking innocence. Hailed as a “fiercely original talent” (San Francisco Chronicle), McCann has delivered a triumphantly American masterpiece that awakens in us a sense of what the novel can achieve, confront, and even heal.
