We’ve collected the hardcover books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending August 7, 2011–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #13) Lucky Peach, Issue 1: Ramen by Chris Ying (Editor) & David Chang: “The aim of Lucky Peach is to give a platform to a brand of food writing that began with unorthodox authors like [Anthony] Bourdain, resulting in a publication that appeals to diehard foodies as well as fans of good writing and art in general.” (June 2011)
(Debuted at #14) Cold Vengeance by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child: “Peeling back the layers of deception, Pendergast realizes that the conspiracy is deeper, goes back generations, and is more monstrous than he could have ever imagined-and everything he’s believed, everything he’s trusted, everything he’s understood . . . may be a horrific lie.” (August 2011)
(Debuted at #15) This Beautiful Life by Helen Schulman: “This novel is a devastating exploration of the blurring boundaries of privacy and the fragility of self, a clear-eyed portrait of modern life that will have readers debating their assumptions about family, morality, and the sacrifices and choices we make in the name of love.” (August 2011)
