North Woods, Daniel Mason; James, Percival Everett; This Other Eden, Paul Harding. These books invite us to reconsider what we know and think about America’s cultural and racial history. These three powerful novels enchant us with their lyrical prose and challenge us with their incisive depictions of the American “myths” we live by.
