Other Indie FavoritesNorwegian by Night: A Novel, by Derek Miller (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $26) “Sheldon Horowitz, an 80-year-old Korean War veteran, has a touch of dementia and goes to live with his daughter and son-in-law in Norway, where he becomes further disoriented. One day, what sounds like violence breaks out in the upstairs apartment and a young boy’s life appears to be at risk. Sheldon becomes the boy’s protector/abductor, fleeing in disguise through the countryside as exiled Serbian war criminals and Norwegian cops give pursuit. A wild, compelling, politically complex, and sometimes funny tale that is a very rich read. Highly recommended.”—Richard Howorth, Square Books, Oxford, MS

Flat Water Tuesday: A Novel, by Ron Irwin (Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s Press, $24.99) “Rob, Connor, John, and Chris are the ‘God Four’ crew of the famed varsity boat at the Fenton Prep School. These four, along with their coxswain, Ruth, form a tight group with one common goal—to defeat their strongest rival, the Warwick School. This beautifully written novel explores the camaraderie, competition, joy, sorrow, and unbelievable guilt that follow this crew team from their youth to adulthood. Irwin skillfully weaves the past with the present in a story of pain and forgiveness that brings the reader to a heart-wrenching conclusion. A compelling read with a poignant message.” —Beverly Bartczak, The Fine Print, Lakeside, OH

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteTaipei: A Novel, by Tao Lin (Vintage, $14.95) “Taipei follows Paul, a young writer living in New York, over a period of several months as he wanders and stumbles his way through a world of drugs, anxiety, ennui, and desperation. Lin chronicles these experiences in a style that retains his recognizable dryness, but with an intense, thoughtful dedication to the articulation of Paul’s thoughts and feelings. Taipei achieves a complexity only hinted at in Lin’s previous work and finds an ideal balance between irony and sincerity. Funny and deeply intelligent, this new work by a ‘deadpan literary trickster’ is also genuinely moving.” —Ami Tian, Ravenna Third Place Books, Seattle, WA
