"Fall TV Fall movies Fall books Much like how any book can be a beach read if you try hard enough, any book can be the perfect cozy, blanket-worthy, fall/winter read if the temps outside deem it so. There's a lot coming out on the publishing horizon but here are a few that might be worth some extra consideration as you're putting together your library hold list."
"Patricia Lockwood's 2021 book, No One is Talking About This, was a novel about being sad and alone online, coming out at a time when a lot of us were sad and alone online. Lockwood's latest novel is a more straightforward COVID novel. But don't get it twisted this being a Lockwood novel, don't expect it to be straightforward at all."
"Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon, Oct. 7 One of the few literary living legends we've got left, the book is Pynchon's first novel since 2013's Bleeding Edge. It takes place in the middle of the Great Depression, and follows Hicks McTaggert, "a one-time strikebreaker turned private eye," who goes out on a routine case which, as you can guess, turns out to be not so routine."
A range of notable fall fiction releases arrive across September and October. Patricia Lockwood's Will There Ever Be Another You (Sept. 23) returns to pandemic-era material but retains Lockwood's unpredictable style. Thomas Pynchon's Shadow Ticket (Oct. 7) is a Depression-era tale following Hicks McTaggert, a strikebreaker-turned-private eye whose routine case unravels. Ken Liu's All That We See or Seem (Oct. 14) centers on retired hacker Julia Z and interrogates anxieties about ubiquitous AI and blurred lines between reality and dreams. Helen DeWitt and Ilya Gridneff's Your Name Here (Oct. 28) is a lengthy, ambitious collaboration on art, war on terror, and linguistics.
