Second Chance

New York Magazine asked 61 critics to name the best “under-the-radar” books of the past decade. Of the 60 books listed, we’ve reviewed only one: Sam Lipsyte’s Homeland. The winning author (read the article to find out who won) received two votes — but for different books. The article contains lots of great looking books that you may want to check out. Be the first kid in your area code to pick one up.

Update: The issue also includes The Early Word on Summer’s Debut Novels and literature professors’ take on which novelists will be taught in 50 years.

  one of the first books listed was Calvin Baker’s Dominion-a book that came in second, right under some “Special Pessl in Calamity Marisha” book, on my best things i read in 2006 list.

  He was at the GCFB. three people, not including joe or myself, showed. it’s a brilliant novel.
