@parnassusbooksnashville: It’s Friday, and if you haven’t read this towering stack of great literature, it’s new to you! This week, Ann mixes it up a bit and responds to an op-ed by David Brooks in the NYT. Is the novel really dead? Read the article, watch Ann’s take, and let us know what you think. Links in bio. #parnassusbooks #bookrecs #BookTok #davidbrooks #nyt #oped #annpatchett
David Brooks is a hack, but I appreciate your recommendations

Thank you for sharing this list. I’m definitely working hard to pull my weight. I make it a point to take on a specific social issue and build each book in my cozy mystery series around that issue. The arts have always been a powerful way to stimulate discourse around tough subjects—let’s all do our part to keep that going!

Ann Patchett, I’ve shelved your books in the bookstore I’ve worked at for 15 years, and I’m sorry to say I’ve never read one of your books. It’s hard when you see books all day long to pick out one to consume your time. I am so excited to pick one of yours out tomorrow! Your post was amazing and I hope many people hear it.

I hear this complaint a lot from a certain demographic and my feeling is what they really want is for their prejudices to be upheld and their worldview reinforced. They’re not really looking to expand their horizons and I find that pretty sad.

I ❤️Louise Erdrich. I drove to MB to go to her bookstore and made my mom swear to god she wouldn’t say anything to anyone in there once we were inside. PS - no Brooks did not read that. He probably only reads male authors.
