The similarities between the writings of Tom Kristensen and Scott Fitzgerald are striking: both weld together a protagonist's struggle to find contentment with biting social commentary, both depict the excesses and follies of boom and bust in the Interwar Era (1920s-1930s), and both tell stories that will stick in the back of your mind for years. The difference is that Fitzgerald tends to be redemptive, giving us a handful of characters who are authentically good people to whom we can turn, while Kristensen is more concerned with characters who must learn to live with their own troubles. HAVOC is a great novel to read before Ottessa Moshfegh visits the store on July 24 with MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION.

As if being the smart Monkee weren't enough (and for him it wasn't), Mike Nesmith became a home video pioneer, a solo act whose first music videos led directly to MTV, a filmmaker, and now, with this book, a skilled, charming writer you'd like to sit beside you at one of those "dream dinner parties." Over the decades Nesmith has known dozens of cultural giants, and his savvy observations in this much-praised memoir (just out in paperback) bring many to life on the page -- not just his fellow Monkees but Lennon, Hendrix, Douglas Adams, Wendy Wassertstein, Jack Nicholson, and on and on.

What would you risk for love? That’s the question at the heart of Debra Jo Immergut’s compelling new novel, THE CAPTIVES. Frank is a psychologist at a women’s prison. When Miranda, an inmate, walks into his office for an initial consultation Frank immediately recognizes her as the girl that he was obsessed with in high school fifteen years earlier. Meanwhile Miranda is doing time for following her lover down an increasingly dangerous, crime-laden path that ultimately resulted in embezzlement and murder. Frank would do anything for Miranda and wants to prove it. Miranda cannot reciprocate Frank’s feelings, yet she cannot resist the opportunity for the freedom and new life that only he can offer. Immergut’s story is one of passionate desire confronting immorality, of careers and bright futures succumbing to lust. It is psychological, taut and masterfully written. A real page-turner.
