Read these books in 2018

Need some help with selecting new books this year? The Monitor asked four bookstores what books they think will excite readers in 2018. These 13 recommendations are from four independent bookstores across the United States: Prairie Lights in Iowa City; the Strand in New York; Off the Beaten Path in Steamboat Springs, Colo.; and Parnassus Books in Nashville, Tenn. (The Monitor has not reviewed these selections.) 

3. 'The Largesse of the Sea Maiden' (Jan. 16) by Denis Johnson

鈥淭he Largesse of the Sea Maiden鈥� by Denis Johnson, Random House, 225 pp.

This highly anticipated story collection is from National Book award winner and two time Pulitzer Prize-finalist Denis Johnson, who died in May 2017. Bookseller Jan Weissmiller says that Mr. Johnson鈥檚 story collection 鈥淛esus鈥� Son鈥� is a 鈥減erennial best seller鈥� at Prairie Lights. The collection 鈥渦nderscores how grevious the loss was for literature,鈥� showing the ways in which Johnson was 鈥渟ubtly pushing his craft in new directions,鈥� Steve Donoghue writes for the Monitor.

(Jan. 16) by Denis Johnson was recommended by Jan Weissmiller, owner of Prairie Lights in Iowa City.
