WORD Bookstores Books of the Week - April 29, 2015
In the Largehearted Word series, the staff of Brooklyn's WORD bookstore highlights several new books released this week.
WORD Bookstores are independent neighborhood bookstores in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and Jersey City, New Jersey. Our primary goal is to be whatever our communities needs us to be, which currently means carrying everything from fiction to nonfiction to absurdly cute cards and stationery. In addition, we're fiends for a good event, from the classic author reading and Q&A to potlucks and a basketball league (and anything set in a bar). If a weekly dose of WORD here isn't enough for you, follow us on Twitter: @wordbookstores.
My Struggle: Book Four
by Karl Ove Knausgaard
The fourth installment of Knausgaard's six-part saga of selfhood gets the English rendition.
Supermutant Magic Academy
by Jillian Tamaki
As Slate so aptly described it, "a boarding school drama laced with the supernatural."
Early Warning
by Jane Smiley
The veteran storyteller zooms in on an American family through a zoomed-out range of the '50s through the '90s.
Anger is an Energy
by John Lydon
The legend speaks!
