☆ Audiobook of the Week: Meryl Streep Would Like to Tell You a Story
  + stars: | 2023-09-01 | by ( Jane Hu | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Deciding what audiobook to listen to requires its own special calculus, related to but distinct from the factors we consider when picking a book off a shelf. TOM LAKE, by Ann Patchett. Meryl Streep, who has lent her voice to audiobook renditions of Nora Ephron’s “Heartburn” and E.B. White’s “Charlotte’s Web,” is ideal for narrating “Tom Lake,” Ann Patchett’s sentimental new novel about a Midwestern family. And the plot of “Tom Lake” is organized around one woman who does just that: She tells her children an extended story.

☆ Ann Patchett on Summer Love and Her New Novel
  + stars: | 2023-08-04 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Ann Patchett’s new novel, “Tom Lake,” is set in northern Michigan during the early days of pandemic lockdown, and centers on a mother telling her grown daughters about the summer fling she had in her youth with an actor who went on to become a big star. “If a person writes a book about a serial killer, no one ever comes back around and says, This isn’t realistic,” Patchett says. It’s — do you want me to put some zombies in my novel? I have been on the receiving end of endless kindness and love in my life. We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review’s podcast in general.

☆ ‘Tom Lake’ Finds Ann Patchett in a Chekhovian Mood
  + stars: | 2023-07-30 | by ( Alexandra Jacobs | More About Alexandra Jacobs | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Are you in possession of a hammock? A bay window with built-in seating? If not, Ann Patchett’s new novel, “Tom Lake,” will situate you there mentally. I wouldn’t be surprised if it put your fitness tracker on the fritz, even if you amble around listening to Meryl Streep read the audio version. With “Tom Lake,” she treats us — and perhaps herself — to a vision of a family beautifully, bucolically simple: nuclear, in its pre-bomb meaning.

☆ Hua Hsu Wants to Know Who Wrote the Zine ‘Secret Asian Man’
  + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
A collection of these issues would undoubtedly be my favorite book that no one has heard of. I’ve always wanted to know who made this zine, and if there are any issues I am missing, and if I could republish them. Because of some scheduling issues, the only free days to do the audiobook came at the end of July. The day I had to narrate the book’s central trauma landed on the actual day it had happened 24 years earlier. But the best form of creative expression that takes friendship as a central concern is rap music.
