Ad Hudler's Summer Reading List

A Celibate Season
by Carol Shields and Blanche Howard
This is the story of a marriage that is put on ice, sexually speaking, as a husband's and wife's careers separate them for ten months, and they resort to letter-writing as their form of intimate intercourse.

Goats
by Mark Jude Poirier
About 14-year-old Ellis who leaves behind a goat-farmer-father-figure in the Southwest to attend school --- and find himself --- in the East.

A Perfect Arrangement
by Suzanne Berne
A new nanny so perfect and powerful that she unconsciously (perhaps consciously?) facilitates the disintegration of her employers' marriage.

The Verificationist
by Donald Atrim
A slim novel about a group of psychologists from the Krakower Institute who meet at a pancake house to engage in flirtation and shoptalk.

The Big Rock Candy Mountain
by Wallace Stegner
The saga of the transient Mason family during the early twentieth century, is Stegner's version of The Grapes of Wrath. Indeed, this man reminds me a lot of Steinbeck, who wrote with a simple, straight-forward style much like the landscape of the West itself: subtle beauty, barren but complex and overpowering.
