Did you miss out on some of this year’s National Book Award finalist because you are mortal and have a job? GalleyCat came through for us with samples of all the finalists.
As a side note, if you do read just one of these titles, I recommend Jesmyn Ward’s Salvage the Bones, a Faulkner-esque fable of an impoverished Mississippi family facing down the specter of Hurricane Katrina. It’s gorgeous. Ward’s first novel, Where the Line Bleeds, was published one of our favorite Chicago indie publishers, Agate.
