Compulsive Reader Newsletter July

The July Compulsive Reader newsletter has just gone out.  This month's newsletter features a bumper crop of global literary news including such things as the Nebula awards, the German Nonfiction Book prize, the TS Eliot Four Quarters prize, the Jhalak Prize for Book of the Year, and many more.  I know literary prizes aren't the be all and end all, but they do shine a torch light on some excellent books and are a good place to start if you're looking for a new read (for example, my dad is a sci fi fan and I always check out the Nebulas and Hugos to choose him new books for his birthday and Father's Day - I haven't had a dud yet).  I'm always amazed by just how many great books continue to come out each year. Given all the chaos that is happening in the world at the moment, knowing how powerful and relevant and beautiful (mostly simultaneously) the literary art world continues to be is very heartening.  Another source of great new books is Compulsive Reader!  This month's newsletter has a bunch of terrific books reviewed including Patrick White winner Adam Aitken's latest poetry book Revenants, Sapphic Touch edited by Suman Lahiry and Heidi Chappelow, April at the Ruins by Lawrence Raab and lots more plus interviews and of course two new wonderful book giveaways!
