Barry, Lynda
Cruddy
This minimally illustrated novel continues the adolescent subjects of Barry's comic work (The Greatest of Marlys, The Freddie Stories, Down the Street) and takes them to a new level of difficulty, disturbance, and revelation. Not for the squeamish.

Lethem, Jonathan
Fortress of Solitude: A Novel
Acclaimed writer Lethem's latest book revolves around the friendship of two boys, Dylan Ebdus and Mingus Rude, growing up in the 70's in the Brooklyn neighborhood now known as Boerum Hill.
Sebald, W.G.
The Rings of Saturn
A sublime work of literary "fiction" (part memoir, part history). As the narrator travels mostly around England, he speculates about the lives of minor historical figures as well as the histories of buildings, streets, and towns. A highlight is the narrator's musings about a possible meeting in the Congo between Roger Casement, a British public servant executed for treason (supporting the Irish revolt against England) and Joseph Conrad, the famous writer.
