Willy Vlautin's Northline
See, this is why I love advance copies at library conferences--this is a book I'd never have picked up on my own. Written by some dude from an alt-country band, about a girl fleeing her abusive boyfriend, and she has imaginary conversations with Paul Newman--it just wouldn't have occurred to me to read it. And yet, it was really good, kind of tender and moving; you can't help but feel for this poor girl beaten down by life and all the people she meets on the way. A.
