Vol.1 Brooklyn’s April 2018 Book Preview
Well, it’s April. Nominally it’s springtime–but the presence of snowy weather and temperatures friendly to hot cocoa and roaring fires suggests otherwise. Metaphorically speaking, though, that range of moods and modes lines up pretty neatly with the books that are on our radar for this month–everything from works in translation to bold collections of nonfiction to eagerly-anticipated literary debuts. Here’s a look at several of the books that we’re most excited to explore this month.

Bites: Mel Bosworth’s Book, Sloane Crosley’s Grandmother, Rhys Chatham’s Car Commercial and More
Mel Bosworth’s book, Freight, is set to come out sometime this year on Folded Word Press. We published an excerpt from the book for our first Sunday Story of 2011. Sloane Crosley talks about her “hardcore” Jewish grandmother. Warren Ellis has a few thoughts on Casino Royale. Let’s talk about the “Great American Novel,” shall we? Never thought that Rhys Chatham’s music would be used to sell cars, but apparently anything is possible. (Via Chris Weingarten’s Twitter)
