Some thoughts on 2009 favorite books
Great Read of 2009
- The Song Is You, by Arthur Phillips -- A novel for the iPod age. Phillips takes the almost-too-clever conceit of two would-be lovers who never quite connect and makes their lives unique, breathable and distinct. What could easily come across as contrivance truly sings with the suggestion that sometimes a great love can happen between two people who keep missing each other. Not the most perfect book ever written, but Phillips nails the advances and retreats of this first decade of the century and how we relate to each other.
- A Gate at the Stairs, by Lorrie Moore -- I adore Lorrie Moore. Seriously. So this hurts me more than it hurts you.
