** HOT ** A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING
EGGERS, DAVE
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
In a rising Saudi Arabian city, far from weary, recession-scarred America, a struggling businessman pursues a
last-ditch attempt to stave off foreclosure, pay his daughter’s college tuition, and finally do something great. In A
Hologram for the King, Dave Eggers takes us around the world to show how one man fights to hold himself and
his splintering family together in the face of the global economy’s gale-force winds. This taut, richly layered, and
elegiac novel is a powerful evocation of our contemporary moment — and a moving story of how we got here.

COSTELLO, MATTHEW J.
Jack and Christie Murphy thought they’d found the perfect respite from a world gone horribly askew. They
thought wrong. Now, following the shocking sacrifice made by Jack to save his family, Matthew Costello's Home
begins minutes after the harrowing events at Paterville Camp. Jack’s family—his wife Christie and their two
children, Kate and Simon—realize that their lives have been changed forever. In this intimate and human
survivalist horror story, they now must face even greater danger and new horrors to simply stay alive as they
search for a road ‘home’ in this intense and original post-apocalyptic thriller.

** HOT ** HOSTAGE
WIESEL, ELIE
It's 1975, and Shaltiel Feigenberg--beloved husband, and professional storyteller and writer--has been taken
hostage: abducted from his home in Brooklyn, blindfolded, and tied to a chair in a dark basement. His captors,
an Arab and an Italian, don't explain why the innocent Shaltiel has been chosen--just that his life will be bartered
for the freedom of three Palestinian prisoners. As his days of waiting commence, Shaltiel resorts to what he does
best, telling stories to himself and to the men who hold his fate in their hands. A Communist brother, a childhood
spent hiding from the Nazis in a cellar, the kindness of liberating Russian soldiers, the unrest of the 1960s--these
are the memories that unfold in Shaltiel's captivity, as the outside world breathlessly follows his disappearance
and the police move toward a final confrontation with his captors.
