Empire Falls
Richard Russo
A decent man running a diner in a dying Maine mill town, hemmed in by everyone's expectations. Russo's warmth and wit carry it.
Vladimir
Julia May Jonas
An aging professor becomes obsessed with a younger male colleague while her husband faces accusations. Wickedly smart and uncomfortable.
Trespasses
Louise Kennedy
Northern Ireland during the Troubles, a young teacher and an older married man. Kennedy writes tension you can feel in your chest. Excellent.
