What's New?

Cloud Cuckoo Land, by Anthony Doerr, is a hard-to-describe epic tale about the power of story, weaving together stories from five different time periods that all tie back to an ancient Greek comedy about a man having misadventures trying to reach the mythical utopian city of birds. The stories seem disparate at first, but tie together for a grand and satisfying whole that comes out next week.
I'm celebrating 20 Years of Sonderbooks! Check the Sonderbooks blog for posts looking back on highlights from each year.
Happy Reading!
