WORD Bookstores Books of the Week - June 10, 2015
In the Largehearted Word series, the staff of Brooklyn's WORD bookstore highlights several new books released this week.
WORD Bookstores are independent neighborhood bookstores in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and Jersey City, New Jersey. Our primary goal is to be whatever our communities needs us to be, which currently means carrying everything from fiction to nonfiction to absurdly cute cards and stationery. In addition, we're fiends for a good event, from the classic author reading and Q&A to potlucks and a basketball league (and anything set in a bar). If a weekly dose of WORD here isn't enough for you, follow us on Twitter: @wordbookstores.
A Brief History of Portable Literature
by Enrique Vila-Matas
A resurrection of the pseudonymous fantasies of Pessoa, Vila-Matas presents a perplexing, yet entertaining new world.
Love Me Back
by Merritt Tierce
A story of struggle and tenacity set in working-class Dallas.
The Magician's Land
by Lev Grossman
The final installment of the Magicians trilogy.
How We Learn and Why it Happens
by Benedict Carey
There's more to learning than you might think (and luckily for some of us it includes "spacing out").
