This Will Take Care of You
Yo. So Anthony Doerr has a new book coming out. It drops, as they say in the book industry, on September 21st. What's that, you have no idea who we're talking about? He wrote The Shell Collector, a short story collection, back in aught-two. Was on Entertainment Weekly's 2003 'It List' (only mentioned because there is obviously a huge overlap between greenideas' readership and EW's), between Zooey Deschanel and Snoop Dogg. His debut novel is entitled About Grace, and you can read some sample chapters at the aforeposted link.
Doerr is an extremely talented writer, very much comparable to someone like Norman Maclean (author of A River Runs Through It). He focuses on nature as a narrative/metaphorical device, and flirts with magical realism from time to time, which is why his novel will be so, so good. It's about a boy who is obsessed with snow, and who can see snatches of events which take place in the future. Unstoppable! Pre-order that beast here! Impress others by prominently displaying the book on your front door/in your pants. Check out that hot cover art.
