One of the people in my
book group picked Jess Walter's
Citizen Vince for our September book. I'm glad, because it's not something I'd likely have picked up on my own, and I liked it. Set in Spokane, Washington during the 1980 election it's a mystery of sorts. It turns out one of my friends from school knows the author from Spokane, so it was fun to hear a bit about him and Spokane. His latest novel,
The Zero, which I haven't read, has been nominated for a National Book Award.
