In fiction picks: new thrillers from the always-reliable Harlan Coben, Richard North Patterson, and C.J. Box; esoterically-titled lit fic from Jennifer DuBois (A Partial History of Lost Causes—see our excerpt) and Kevin Moffett (Further Interpretations of Real-Life Events), and the sophomore effort from John Le Carre’s son, Nick Harkaway. In nonfiction: memoirs from Marine infrantyman Bejamin Busch and novelist Cheryl Strayed, and a look at female breadwinners from journalist Liza Mundy (see our Q&A). For kids: Amy Reichert's clever look at the world of grown-up officework, an American-in-Argentina story from Celeste Conway, and a cautionary tale called Wolf Won’t Bite! This week’s bonus pick: The Sugar-Frosted Nutsack (a novel even crazier than its title). Plus more!
