Robert Olen Butler recommends
Night Swimmer
Night Swimmer (1994)
Joseph Olshan
"Powerful and resonent... Joseph Olshan has explored deeply the realities of the obsessiveness of love."
Me and Johnny Blue
Me and Johnny Blue (2000)
(Johnny Blue)
Joseph A West
"Wildly comic."
Acts of Faith
Acts of Faith (2005)
Philip Caputo
"Philip Caputo, from Vietnam onwards, has understood the hardest truths of the modern world better than almost anybody. Acts of Faith is a stunningly unflinching novel. On the surface it is set in Africa, but in fact its true landscape is the ravaged soul of the twenty-first century. Philip Caputo is one of the few absolutely essential writers at work today."
Forgiveness
Forgiveness (2007)
Jim Grimsley
"What a great pleasure it always is to watch Jim Grimsley's estimable sensibility at work observing and deconstructing the foibles and follies of modern culture. In Forgiveness he exposes, with devastating wit, our cult of body and of fame. This is a brilliant and important novel."
