Undermajordomo Minor
Undermajordomo Minor
by Patrick DeWitt
Staff Pick
The delightful and cunning author of The Sisters Brothers returns with another enigmatic, off-kilter tale. Set in a vaguely fairy tale-like land, Undermajordomo Minor traces the wayward path of the young Lucien, who is to begin a new post at the castle of a mysterious baron. Darkly funny and deftly crafted, deWitt's new novel is smart, seductive, and a lot of fun.

Gamelife: A Memoir
Gamelife: A Memoir
by Michael Clune
Staff Pick
Michael Clune's mother accused him of using computer games to escape from reality. She wasn't wrong, but part of what's fascinating about Gamelife is where Clune escapes to and what he thinks about along the way. "I need to be somewhere else," he writes, and that is the gift and the curse computer games offer.

Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
by Jenny Lawson
Staff Pick
Jenny Lawson writes mainly about therapy, mental illness, and taxidermy, and I was laughing about every two sentences. About every six sentences, I had to put the book down and regain composure. In fact, reading this book made me annoying to be around, as though I were involved in a 273-page inside joke.

Quicksand
Quicksand
by Steve Toltz
Staff Pick
When failed novelist Liam Wilder decides his best friend, Aldo Benjamin, is his muse, we are introduced to one of the most grimly hilarious, heartbreaking, foulmouthed, loveable characters to have graced the page in a very long time. Aldo consistently and comically loses at business and, sadly, in love, yet as Liam tells his story, often using Aldo's own words, we meet an original philosopher, an optimist of dark and deranged slant. Toltz has created a breathtaking world of deep and surreal emotion and profound intelligence.

Purity
Purity
by Jonathan Franzen
Staff Pick
Purity focuses on its namesake, a drifting 20-something, and Andreas Wolf, a Julian Assange stand-in whose dubious morality drives her to unexpected destinations. The fast-paced story spans decades and continents without losing sight of its characters' motivations and quotidian concerns; it is Franzen's most approachable novel to date.
