BUILDING STORIES
WARE, CHRIS
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Building Stories imagines the inhabitants of a three-story Chicago apartment building: a 30-something woman
who has yet to find someone with whom to spend the rest of her life; a couple, possibly married, who wonder if
they can bear each other's company another minute; and the building's landlady, an elderly woman who has
lived alone for decades. Taking advantage of the absolute latest advances in wood pulp technology, Building
Stories is a book with no deliberate beginning nor end, the scope, ambition, artistry and emotional prevarication
beyond anything yet seen from this artist or in this medium, probably for good reason.

THE BUZZARD TABLE
MARON, MARGARET
Judge Deborah Knott and Sheriff's Deputy Dwight Bryant are back home in Colleton County with all their family
and courthouse regulars. But there are a few new faces as well. Lt. Sigrid Herald and her mother, Anne, a wellknown
photographer, are down from New York to visit Anne's ailing mother, Mrs. Lattimore. When the group
gathers for dinner at Mrs. Lattimore's Victorian home, they meet the enigmatic Martin Crawford, an ornithologist
who claims to be researching a new book on Southern vultures. More importantly, he's Mrs. Lattimore's long-lost
nephew, and Sigrid and Anne's English cousin. With her health in decline, Mrs. Lattimore wants to make amends
with her family--something Deborah can understand as she too is working to strengthen her relationship with her
stepson, Cal. But for all his mysterious charm, Anne can't shake the feeling that there is something familiar about
Martin...something he doesn't want Anne or anyone else to discover. When a murderer strikes, Deborah, Dwight,
and Sigrid will once again work together to solve the crime and uncover long-buried Lattimore family secrets.

CADILLAC COUCHES
WATSON, SOPHIE B.
Cadillac Couches is a picaresque road trip novel that journeys from prairie to big city and back again. A quixotic
tale set in the late '90s and framed by the popular Edmonton Folk Music Festival, it follows two music-smitten
twentysomething women as they search for love and purpose. Annie Jones is trying to put her big love, Sullivan,
behind her, and squash her demons of anxiety and compulsion. In a post-fest funk, she and her more worldly
sidekick Isobel jump in Annie's 1972 Volkswagen Beetle and race across the country to Montreal where her reallife
fantasy man, Hawksley Workman, is doing a gig. A year later Annie and Isobel end up back at the folk
festival, this time in a much different position—on stage.
