Lanny
Book description
Longlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize

Why read it?
1 author picked Lanny as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Not as outrageous as the other books on this list, but unique all the same. Lanny introduced me to the idea of experimental and literary fiction. In fact, until reading Lanny, I hadn’t written fiction for years. Yet this book swarmed my brain with new ideas poised to push the boundaries of my written ability. Lanny is tender, surprising, sad, poetic, and wholesome.
From James' list on the outrageous but still have serious meaning.
