A note from Erin
Beautiful writing matters most when it has somewhere to take us.
I admire a perfect sentence as much as anyone, but I still want to care what happens next. The literary fiction on this shelf pairs thoughtful writing with characters and questions that pull you through the book.
These are stories to underline, discuss, and occasionally argue about. They ask a little more of the reader, then give us something substantial in return.
