New Book Releases: May 5, 2020

Each week, I’ll catalog the biggest and most exciting adult and YA fiction — and the occasional nonfiction — coming out that Tuesday.

LITTLE EYES, Samanta Schweblin. From the author of Fever Dream. A novel about globally popular mechanical stuffed animals with cameras for eyes. “Its investigation into solitude and online experience becomes only more poignant in a global lockdown,” writes The Guardian. I can’t wait to read this! Aggregated critical reviews, Bookshop.

A GOOD MARRIAGE, Kimberly McCreight. A federal prosecutor receives a call from a friend whose wife was found murdered, and whose community of elite Park Slope families aren’t what they seem. From the author of Reconstructing Amelia. Bookshop.

ALMOND, Won-Pyung Sohn, Joosun Lee (Translator). A teenager unable to feel certain emotions like anger or fear struggles to cope when an act of violence upends his stable life, and he forms a unique friendship with his bully. Bookshop.

ADULT CONVERSATION, Brandy Ferner. A restless mother and her therapist go on a trip to Las Vegas, where they will make choices that will alter the course of their lives. Bookshop.
