Other Indie FavoritesOf Things Gone Astray: A Novel, by Janina Matthewson(TheFridayProject,$19.99)“In London, a group of people have lost that which they hold most dear. A girl stands in the airport waiting for her lover while her feet turn to roots and her skin to bark. A recluse loses the front wall of her home, while a workaholic cannot find his office building. Piano keys, a sense of direction, and a boy’s relationship with his father all have gone astray. Slowly, each victim adapts, unwittingly helping one another during the briefest encounters. Each loss is heartbreaking and each character’s struggle to survive is inspiring. With stunning prose and insight, Matthewson uses magic to illuminate truth in this hauntingly beautiful debut novel.” —AmeliaStymacks,NorthshireBookstore,SaratogaSprings,NY

Single, Carefree, Mellow: Stories, by Katherine Heiny(Knopf,$23.95) “Single, Carefree, Mellow is a very special debut collection from an author with a voice that is both interesting and unique. Heiny often takes the perspective of women that, in real life, one would be cheering against and yet for whom readers will end up having much sympathy. Her characters are like nice mean girls with wicked senses of humor who are lost, in many ways, like the rest of us.” —PamCady,UniversityBookStore, Seattle, WA

Another Indie FavoriteTheTranscriptionist:ANovel,byAmyRowland(AlgonquinBooks,$14.95) “Lena works as a transcriptionist for The Record, a major newspaper based in New York City. Her job is to transcribe reporters’ stories and interviews in preparation for publication. Her life is a quiet one, full of other people’s voices. The reader is drawn into Lena's isolated life where she’s haunted by the brutal stories she records every day, as well as memories of her childhood. This is a thoughtful, ultimately hopeful novel about the degree of tenderness we bring to the millions of fine details about other people's lives we encounter every day.” —Julie Wernersbach,BookPeople,Austin,TX

lots of imagination,
