Shelf Awareness for Readers, our weekly consumer-facing publication featuring adult and children's book reviews, author interviews, backlist recommendations, and fun news items, is being published today. Starred review highlights include Where the Forest Meets the River by Shannon Bowring, "a gorgeous, poignant drive through the sun and shadow of shared grief in small-town Maine"; The Lantern of Lost Memories by Sanaka Hiiragi, "an enchanting novel" that "captures the special quality of a single moment in life with equal parts pathos and joy"; and One Last Chance to Live by Francisco X. Stork, a "nuanced dive into suicidal ideation" after a young writer learns his mentor has died. In The Writer's Life, Oliver Radclyffe discusses his memoir, Frighten the Horses, and the thrill of being published in a time when trans writers and artists are being celebrated. Plus, rediscover late Lebanese author Elias Khoury, "who dedicated much of his writings to the Palestinian cause and taught at universities around the world, making him one of Lebanon's most prominent intellectuals."
