Read these books in 2018

Need some help with selecting new books this year? The Monitor asked four bookstores what books they think will excite readers in 2018. These 13 recommendations are from four independent bookstores across the United States: Prairie Lights in Iowa City; the Strand in New York; Off the Beaten Path in Steamboat Springs, Colo.; and Parnassus Books in Nashville, Tenn. (The Monitor has not reviewed these selections.) 

6. 'Feel Free' (Feb. 6) by Zadie Smith

"Feel Free" by Zadie Smith, Penguin Press, 464 pp.

In this collection of stories, Zadie Smith poses questions like: “What is The Social Network – and Facebook itself – really about?” and “Why do we love libraries?” The collection is divided into five sections – In the World, In the Audience, In the Gallery, On the Bookshelf, and Feel Free – and explores cultural and political current events as well as Ms. Smith’s personal life events.

“Feel Free” (Feb. 6) by Zadie Smith was recommended by Leigh Altshuler, director of marketing and communications of the Strand in New York.
