I so appreciate your thoughtful reviews, Hunter! I remember being very moved by The Swimmers a couple years ago and have now added The Buddha In The Attic to my next library pickup, thanks to your review. You've taken on such an ambitious project here and I'm grateful you've invited us along!
I love your NBA newsletters! Yours was the first one I ever paid and subscribed to. I’m so glad to see them back. This makes me want to go reread all of your past ones and make a list of books. I got a copy of The Caine Mutiny from goodwill after your 1952 newsletter. I still havent read it though, but looking forward to the gay war novel.
Back in 2011 I read Salvage the Bones and The Tiger’s Wife and loved both. I have Buddha In the Attic on my shelf and now I’m wondering why I havent read it yet.
This was a great list! I read The Sojourn (at a friend's recommendation) and then his two follow-up novels ... they're sequels and together the trilogy tells such a compelling story about the impact of war(s) on generations of a family. He gets a little more experimental with structure in the last one (The Appearance of Horses) and it's my favorite - he shifts POV and timeline and it's just so good!

I agree Tyler would loved The Tiger’s Wife, which I also loved. It won the Women’s Prize that year!
