What do you recommend?

“I really liked Outline by Rachel Cusk. It was very clever. … It’s about a woman who’s a writer and teaches at a retreat. She meets different people, and she sees them as characters. It’s a book that appeals to writers, the way she sees everything as potential story. I also liked Mirian Toews’ All My Puny Sorrows.”

Julie Schumacher, author of Dear Committee Members
