This weekend's WSJ Fiction Chronicle leads with Maria Stepanova's 'The Disappearing Act,' an optical illusion of a novel about war guilt and the disavowal of novel-writing. Plus new fiction by Victoria Shorr and a welcome reissue of a lesser-known Sarah Orne Jewett! www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

First look at the cover of Five Strange Languages, book 1, out in October! This time it's an ugly mushroom, surrounded by stars — an appropriate emblem for the narrator, who is haunted by his mother's two obsessions: mushrooms, and the orbits of comets. On Amazon now for Preorder.

This is one you do not want to miss! And I’m not saying that just because we got to chat about it. Jewett called it her favorite among her works. Her subtle examinations of urban vs rural life, queerness, and the ecological landscape she knew well are stunning.

Speaking of war fiction, I recommend (guardedly, since it's so bleak) Michael Jerome Plunkett's 'Zone Rouge,' about the de-miners who are still removing the unexploded ordnance from Verdun a century after the battle. A Dantean allegory that crosses uncannily with the real www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

Reminder that Fanny Hill was banned, litigated, expurgated, rereleased, banned, litigated, edited, rereleased, banned in the UK, banned in the US, litigated, rereleased, and now faces potential bans again. All this for a book with no expletives and espouses a clearly capitalist bourgeoise agenda.
