WORD Bookstores Books of the Week - July 29, 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.
The Complete Stories by Clarice Lispector
by Clarice Lispector
New Directions follows the publication of Lispector's brilliant, numinous novels with a compendium of her story collections.
Will Not Attend
by Adam Resnick
A former Late Night With David Letterman writer reflects on a lifetime of the willful avoidance of others.
Kitchens of the Great Midwest

A tale of food and family with a twinge of Garrison Keillor.
On Writing
by Charles Bukowski
It looks like there was more to it than drinking Miller and being mean to women!
