One of my favorite upcoming titles is Chandler Burr's insightful debut, You or Someone Like You. As you might remember, I blogged about You or Someone Like You back in February. As the on sale date approaches (Tuesday June 9th), it's my job to alert you to the gathering media storm. Check out this beautiful review on NPR (which includes an excerpt of the book), as well as this excellent profile from Time Out New York. And here's a quote from the NPR review that lets you in on the reason for the controversy I mentioned:
"You or Someone Like You is sure to stir up controversy because it doesn't just stick to the safe pieties of descrying discrimination in terms of race or gender; instead, it confronts what it sees as a more socially acceptable form of discrimination practiced by organized religion...But Burr, like his main character, Anne Rosenbaum, clearly subscribes to the view that one distinguishing mark of a good piece of literature is that it doesn't set out to please everybody."
Browse inside and let me know what you think.
