Vol.1 Brooklyn’s October 2016 Book Preview
This may be our largest single month book preview. But then again, this October looks like an unusually strong month for books, whether you’re looking for unsettling fiction in translation, incisive cultural histories, or speculative fiction that takes some of our current concerns to their logical ends. And it wouldn’t be October reading without a couple of glimpses into the uncanny as well. Read on for a glimpse of the books that have caught our attention for this month.
Vantage Points, Tornadoes, and Hidden Names: Talking “Patricide” With D. Foy
October brings with the release of Patricide, D. Foy‘s followup to his fantastic debut novel Made to Break. This harrowing novel runs an emotionally and physically tense father-son relationship through a number of permutations; it’s at once a bold novel of ideas, a hallucinatory coming-of-age story, and a reflection on the relationship between families and stories. In advance of the release event for the book next Monday, I talked with Foy about the novel’s structure, narrative approach, and more.
