☆ Megan Abbott, Bonnie Garmus and More Writers on the Books They Love
  + stars: | 2024-07-11 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
It’s more science fiction-y than the better-known “Handmaid’s Tale,” but just as satirical, with its warning about multinational corporations and genetic engineering. Bonnie Garmusauthor of “Lessons in Chemistry”According to her older brother, Ashmol, Kellyanne Williamson is a fruit loop. When Pobby and Dingan disappear thanks to her alcoholic father, it seems clear Kellyanne must finally grow up. POBBY AND DINGAN, Ben Rice’s short, tight treatise on love, sacrifice and grief is so flawlessly written, you’ll read it in two hours but remember it forever. This is a major novel that, like all major novels, doesn’t quite resemble anything else you’ve read.

READING GENESIS, by Marilynne RobinsonMarilynne Robinson’s “Reading Genesis” is a writer’s book, not a scholar’s; it has no footnotes. Its power lies in the particular reading it gives us of one of the world’s foundational texts, which is also one of the foundations of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author’s mind and faith. We want to know what Robinson thinks of Genesis for the same reason we’d want to know what Tolstoy thought of it. The spirit of God moves on the face of the waters, and eventually, far off in Idaho, the novelist’s bedsheets stir. But the surprising thing about “Reading Genesis,” given that it’s by a writer who can make even nonbelievers feel the presence of the thing they disbelieve, is that it is hardly interested in the numinous.
