Two Major Literary Releases Hit Shelves

*The Imposters* is the fourth novel from Tom Rachman, who first gained international acclaim with his 2010 bestseller, *The Imperfectionists*. That debut, which explored the lives of journalists at an English-language newspaper in Rome, was translated into 25 languages. Rachman's background as a foreign correspondent for the Associated Press and the *International Herald Tribune* often informs his fiction. *Sun House* marks David James Duncan's first novel in over three decades, following his celebrated 1992 book, *The Brothers K*. That novel, a sprawling family saga intertwined with baseball and the Vietnam War, won an American Library Association Best Books Award and was a New York Times Notable Book. The title itself is an allusion to Dostoevsky's *The Brothers Karamazov* and the baseball abbreviation for a strikeout. Duncan's work has long explored themes of spirituality, nature, and the American West, earning him a dedicated following. His 1983 debut, *The River Why*, which became a cult classic, also delves into a quest for self-discovery against the backdrop of the Pacific Northwest's natural world. *Sun House* continues this thematic journey, drawing on a wide range of wisdom traditions. *The Imposters* centers on an aging and unsuccessful novelist, Dora Frenhofer, during the pandemic, and uses a tricksy structure of interconnected stories. Early reviews note Rachman's dark humor and flair for invention, with the novel itself questioning the lines between reality, memory, and the fictions we create about our own lives.
