Nina George, Joseph Kanon, Don Lee, & More | Prepub Alert, Jun. 2017, Pt. 2 |

| | |  Nina George, Joseph Kanon, & More | Barbara’s Picks
Jill Bialosky offers a poetry-as-life-saver memoir, Joseph Kanon thrills us again, and Don Lee turns to the music world for his next novel. But what’s especially fun here is to check out this list’s rising stars. Siobhan Fallon, who had a huge hit with her debut collection, You Know When the Men Are Gone, returns with an exciting first novel; Victor LaValle shivers us again with The Changeling; and Edward Kelsey Moore brings back the beat with The Supremes Sing the Happy Heartache Blues. | | |
|  Top Literary Fiction | Fiction Previews
Award worthies Gail Godwin and Allegra Goodman are joined by Endless Love best-selling Scott Spencer on this week’s literary fiction list. Meanwhile, two authors—Catherine Lacey and Sarah Perry—come up with second novels that match expectations on their debut work. | | |  Performing Arts | Nonfiction Previews
With a Kevin Hart memoir and a Thelma and Louise study popping up, this performing arts list is not all music. But works on Arturo Toscanini, Joni Mitchell, and the Bob Dylan–Woody Guthrie connection will please all music lovers, as will a study from NPR critic Ann Powers. |

Yes, there will be an ALA Midwinter galley and signing guide, with a complete listing of galleys, books, and in-booth signings from top publishers. The guide should help you negotiate the show floor, and even if you aren’t going to Midwinter, it’s fun to see what publishers are pushing. For the most part, this year’s giveaways are not on a tight schedule, so the listings will focus on type of giveaway.
