Books in 140 Seconds: Trauma Farm

Welcome back to another edition of Books in 140 Seconds! Last time we talked about small town Quebec, but this time we’re getting more rural, with a return to the country across the country. Watch as we sing the praises of Brian Brett’s Trauma Farm:

I’m building an ultimate literary farm crawl in my head now. It’d start with Lilac Hill, then onto Trauma Farm, and maybe onto Cold Antler Farm . . . More on Trauma Farm to come, by the way, with a post I started writing on Thanksgiving. I’m sure it will be ready any month now.

Next time on Books in 140 Seconds, we’re going to bat for an unforgettable debut novel, Chad Harbach’s The Art of Fielding.

Books in 140 Seconds: Algoma

Don’t worry, friends, we haven’t forgotten about you. In fact, we miss you. So much. [Hug monitor now.] We’re back this week with a fantastic first fiction offering from the wonderful Dani Couture. Check out what we thought of Algoma:

We’ll be back again in a fortnight, talking (gushing, yelling, hand waving) about Brian Brett’s small farm memoir/manifesto/anthem/yawp Trauma Farm.

Books in 140 Seconds: Once You Break a Knuckle

Does everybody know what time it is? Tool time! But you should watch Books in 140 Seconds instead. Last time we talked Brian Francis’s sensitive portrait of a conflicted mother, but this time we’re getting in touch with our inner alpha males to talk about D.W. Wilson’s Once You Break a Knuckle:

Next up, we’re combining our love for graphic novels and NPR to talk about Brooke Gladstone’s The Influencing Machine (we also may start referring to ourselves as that).
