by Lorrie Moore
In
her new novel Moore turns her eye on the anxiety and disconnection
of post-9/11 America, on the insidiousness of racism, the

and devastating |

Year of the Flood: A Novel
by Margaret Atwood
The
times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social

kindly leader of the God's Gardeners, a religion devoted to the
melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all
plant and animal life, has long predicted a natural disaster that
will alter Earth as we know it.
