New releases haven’t been able to attract the attention they deserve because the coronavirus pandemic has put a hold on readings and browsing. So I’ve heeded the call of The Authors Guild to post a video with three recommendations: Perumal Murugan’s spare and powerful Tamil fable The Story of a Goat; Joshua Hammer’s true crime thriller The Falcon Thief; and Patrick Radden Keefe’s Say Nothing, a now-it-can-be-told account of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. You can click on my Bookshop.org storefront to order. Thanks for reading and for standing with book culture during this challenging time.
