In another, Jen tells Riley that she couldn’t wait for life to return to normal Riley loses it - but in her mind only. Christine Pride is a writer, editor, and longtime publishing veteran. In one scene, for instance, Jen wonders about Riley’s three college scholarships (to her none) and yet says nothing about it.

The authors show, for example, how Jen has the privilege of never seeing “color” in her relationship - whereas for Riley, it’s unavoidable. Pride and Piazza explore race and friendship with candor. Introducing the “different side of Paris” through narrator Ricky Jenks, Lamar centers his novel on the lesser known parts of the city, enabling direct challenges to migration narratives of inclusion and racially utopic France.

With its winning combination of football, politics, and a swoony small-town romance, this story stole my heart." - Miranda Kenneally, author of Catching Jordan and Defending Taylor "If you've ever messed up big time and yearned to hit restart, you must read Interference.

The Irish writer Conor Cruise O’Brien called it “a sermon of hope.” It’s worth revisiting that hopefulness – the spirit that prompts Camus’s narrator to declare, famously, that plagues remind us “there are more things to admire in men than to despise.” In La peste, his canonical treatment of a fictional bubonic plague outbreak in the Algerian city of Oran, the Nobel laureate trained a piercing eye on life under quarantine, with all its strangeness and misery.īut the novel also takes seriously the lessons these trying moments can teach – treats them, even, as a kind of redemption.
