We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending February 19, 2012–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #6 in Hardcover Fiction) What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank by Nathan Englander: “The title story, inspired by Raymond Carver’s masterpiece, is a provocative portrait of two marriages in which the Holocaust is played out as a devastating parlor game. In the outlandishly dark ‘Camp Sundown’ vigilante justice is undertaken by a group of geriatric campers in a bucolic summer enclave.” (February 2012)
(Debuted at #8 in Hardcover Fiction) The Wolf Gift by Anne Rice: “A whole new world—modern, sleek, high-tech—and at its center, a story as old and compelling as history: the making of a werewolf, reimagined and reinvented as only Anne Rice, teller of mesmerizing tales, conjurer extraordinaire of other realms, could create.” (February 2012)
(Debuted at #10 in Children’s Interest) The Hunger Games Tribute Guide by Emily Seife: “Here is the ultimate guide to the twenty-four Tributes participating in Panem’s 74th annual Hunger Games. Follow the Tributes’ journey from the Reaping to the Games, with a look at all the highlights along the way-the Tribute Parade, the stations of the Training Center, the interviews, and more.
