POWERFUL, DARING & INVENTIVE: NOVELS FOR NOW

In POROCHISTA KHAKPOUR’s Tehrangeles: A Novel, the Iranian American Milani family has it all – an L.A. mansion, a snack empire, and four spirited daughters: aspiring model Violet, chaotic influencer Roxanna, online overachiever Mina, and impressionable health fanatic Haylee. But on the verge of landing a reality TV show, the family realizes they all have something to hide. GARTH RISK HALLBERG’s The Second Coming: A Novel is the story of a troubled teen, Jolie, and her estranged father, Ethan, a recovering addict who returns home after an accident nearly takes her life. JUSTIN TAYLOR’s Reboot: A Novel follows a washed-up actor on his quest for reinvention as he attempts to revive the cult TV show that brought him teenage fame. He soon realizes, however, that what seemed like an innocuous reboot could be the spark that ignites a nation gripped by far-right conspiracy, climate catastrophe, and mass violence. Moderated by ELLEN BOOK, Miami-Dade Public Library System.
