  11. Review: "Every Boy Should Have a Man" by Preston Allen

    Genre mash-ups are de rigueur these days. Of course, writers like Margaret Atwood have been tight-roping the misty border between literary fiction and speculative fiction, fantasy and mystery for years. But a new outcropping of younger upstarts, such as Michael Chabon, Charles Yu and Jonathan Letham, have been contorting the lines in new and unexpected directions. Genre fiction, it would seem, is no longer relegated to the back of the bookstore or the dominion of the geek. Examining the borderlands between what is traditionally deemed "literary" and what is "genre," inverting, twisting, defying and fusing traditional genre tropes with meta-modernist craft, is all part of this new genre renaissance.

  12. Review: "Silver Star" by Jeannette Walls

    An Oscar Wilde quote prefaces Jeannette Walls' new novel, "The Silver Star": "The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple." Despite the epigraph, truth has never been simpler than in Walls' first foray into pure fiction. Having written one critically acclaimed memoir, "The Glass Castle," and one lightly fictionalized account of her grandmother's life, "Half Broke Horses," Walls has produced a novel that covers similarly rich terrain, but with an aphoristic tone that solves complicated problems with shoulder shrugs.
