February 2009
February’s roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes AMERICAN WIFE by Curtis Sittenfeld, an intimate and revealing portrait of the marriage of George and Laura Bush through their fictional alter egos; David Baldacci's THE WHOLE TRUTH, a terrifying global thriller in which the lives of its characters will collide head-on as a series of events is set in motion that could change the world as we know it; DEEP DISH, a hilarious and delightful romp from Mary Kay Andrews that finds local cooking show hosts Gina Foxton and Tate Moody facing off in a reality show competition; NOTORIOUS, Michele Martinez’s fourth thriller featuring Melanie Vargas, a New York City prosecutor who specializes in narcotics-related crimes; and SOUVENIR by Therese Fowler, the heartbreaking story of a woman who made what she thought was a responsible decision, only to have to live with the consequences.
Among our nonfiction highlights are THE COMMISSION, in which New York Times reporter Philip Shenon scrutinizes the investigation of 9/11 and tells the inside story of the most important federal commission since the Warren Commission; THE TEN-CENT PLAGUE, David Hajdu’s insightful examination of the effect of McCarthyism on comic books; and HOPE’S BOY by Andrew Bridge, a harrowing memoir of a little boy lost --- taken away by the system and then trapped in it, abandoned not by his mom but by departments and laws and social servants.
