Other Indie FavoritesThe Bohemians: Mark Twain and the San Francisco Writers Who Reinvented American Literature, by Ben Tarnoff (Penguin Press, $27.95) “Four writers who changed the face of American literature—Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Charles Warren Stoddard, and Ina Coolbrith—arrived in San Francisco in the 1860s and immediately found the city’s ‘intoxicating energy’ to be just the elixir they needed to create a new American literature free from the ‘heavy European influence that dominated the East.’ Tarnoff makes the Bohemians come alive. This book is an essential reference that needs to be in every home across America.” —Trayce and Jerry Finney, Hiram Books, Hiram, GA

Mind of Winter, by Laura Kasischke (Harper, $24.99) “On a snowy Christmas morning in a Detroit suburb, Holly Judge asks her daughter Tatiana to help her prepare dinner for their guests while her husband drives to the airport to get his parents. Holly reflects on the circumstances of Tatiana’s adoption but her recollections become more and more confusing as the day progresses and she feels that ‘something has followed them from Russia.’ Kasischke has accomplished a remarkable feat in writing a highly suspenseful novel with very little action and whose heart-wrenching conclusion will haunt you long after you finish reading.” —Pierre Camy, Schuler Books & Music, Grand Rapids, MI

Another Indie FavoriteThe Book of Duels: Flash Fiction, by Michael Garriga, Tynan Kerr (Illus.) (Milkweed Editions, $18) “There are many great storytellers published today, but it takes an exceptional writer to tell a story in so few words—and Michael Garriga does it brilliantly. Told candidly from the perspective of each duelist and a witness, The Book of Duels delves into the final thoughts—of honor, love, hatred, anger, God—of those facing death. Gritty and often darkly humorous, this debut collection will make readers take note of flash fiction.” —Lindsay Pingel, Inkwood Books, Tampa, FL
