A Swim in a Pond in the Rain
George Saunders
"Saunders dissects seven Russian short stories and in doing so teaches you how to read everything differently. I gave this to my father, who hadn't finished a book in twelve years. He called me at 2am to talk about Chekhov."
— Maya Chen, Head Bookseller at Stacks
The Secret History
Donna Tartt
"Every book club that's read this has immediately booked a second meeting just to argue. It's about a murder — but really it's about the seduction of beauty, the cost of belonging, and what people do to each other when they've decided they're special."
— Maya Chen, Head Bookseller at Stacks
Piranesi
Susanna Clarke
"Two hundred pages that feel like a dream you're trying to hold onto after waking. The house has halls. The halls have statues. The tides come in. Someone is keeping a journal. That's all I'll say. Read it in one sitting if you can."
— Maya Chen, Head Bookseller at Stacks
"I've been hand-selling this exact combination for two years. When a customer says they want something that'll rearrange their furniture — something that changes how they read everything after — this is the stack I pull."
