    • The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher: Stories By Hilary Mantel

    • A Brief History of Seven Killings By Marlon James

    • The China Mirage: The Hidden History of American Disaster in Asia By James Bradley

      The son of an Iwo Jima flag-raiser and author of Flags of Our Fathers, Bradley last parsed U.S. Asian policy in The Imperial Cruise. Here he looks at our profit-seeking meddling from the Opium Wars to the rise of Mao. (October 21)

    • Let Me Be Frank with You By Richard Ford

      The Pulitzer and PEN/Faulkner Prize-winning Ford again revives his character Frank Bascombe from The Sportswriter, this time examining contemporary American life through a generational lens in four post-Superstorm Sandy narratives. (November 4)

    • The David Foster Wallace Reader By David Foster Wallace

      Can’t get enough of the prodigiously talented but self-silenced Wallace? This volume collects his best shorter work and excerpts from Infinite Jest and The Pale King, along with guidelines and other tools he used as a writing instructor. (November 11)
