In September's BookPage, Marlon James makes his long-awaited return to literary fiction with a searing exploration of violence and recovery, iconic young adult author John Green writes his first novel for adults and Lindsay Crouse argues that quitting has gotten a bad rap. Elsewhere in the issue, we honor two singers’ contributions to the Civil Rights Movement and round up the best new works in translation, romantasy and Christian fiction. You can find free copies of BookPage at the library front desk!
