Other Indie FavoritesDark Lies the Island: Stories, by Kevin Barry (Graywolf Press, $24) “Barry’s collection of stories crackles with intelligence, wicked humor, and the woes of modern life. Populated by misfits, hapless husbands, and characters whose worst enemies are themselves, the 13 stories that make up this collection are compulsively readable and, like all great fiction, seem effortless. Barry loves the cadence and sound of human speech and his ear for dialogue and narrative is astounding. The stories brim with humor and lines so quotable they demand to be read again. Barry puts a beating heart into each of these stories, a collection that is a must for fans of Irvine Welsh and V.S. Pritchett.” —Mark Haber, Brazos Bookstore, Houston, TX

The Fountain of St. James Court; or, Portrait of the Artist as an Old Woman: A Novel, by Sena Jeter Naslund (William Morrow, $26.99) “This is a fascinating tale of two women artists—writer Kathryn Callaghan in this century and painter Elizabeth Vigee-Le Brun, who lived during the French Revolution. Vigee-Le Brun was a real-life portraitist who included Marie Antoinette among her subjects. Callaghan is 70 and brings the wisdom of her age to the story. Naslund offers a very perceptive look at two women as they progress through their art and their lives. A great read!” —Stephanie Crowe, Page & Palette, Fairhope, AL

Another Indie FavoriteThree Graves Full: A Novel, by Jamie Mason (Gallery Books, $16) “Three Graves Full gives us a fresh, entertaining twist on the murder mystery genre. A coward can snap if pushed too far, which is why Jason Getty has a body buried in his backyard. This is stressing him out so much that he has to hire a landscaping crew to deal with his lawn—and they are the ones who find a different body in his flowerbed, not the one he buried. The police investigation turns up a third body, and from there on this tightly plotted, suspense-filled tale twists and turns like the country roads of its setting. A great read!” —Carol Schneck Varner, Schuler Books & Music, Okemos, MI
