Jonathan Dee recommends

Last House (2024)
Jessica Shattuck
"A family is a pledge that the world isn't ending, at least not yet. Jessica Shattuck shows us, in a saga as epic and sweeping as it is domestic and intimate, how one generation's best intentions cast shadows in the lives of the next."

On the Tobacco Coast (2024)
(Chesapeake Bay , book 4)
Christopher Tilghman
"Tilghman's four-volume chronicle of the Mason family, having spanned centuries and continents, ends, as it must, around a dinner table-a domestic idyll at which the ghosts of a brutal history, both national and familial, keep trying to pull up a chair. A moving capstone to one of the epic projects in recent American literature."

Last Acts (2024)
Alexander Sammartino
"A sad, hilarious father-son redemption story that touches every American third rail: guns, drugs, religion . . . Sammartino is heir to the 20th century American masters: DeLillo, Pynchon, McCarthy, Wallace. He's as smart and as funny and as electric a stylist and as spot-on about the dark societal carnival we're all doing our best to survive."
