Literary figures recommend their favorite overlooked books. Good idea here. Contributors include Oscar Hijuelos, John Guare, Calvin Trillin, Robert Pinsky, Jane Smiley, Buck Henry and others. Lots of recommendations in the form of reviews of books that are probably unfamiliar to you. Pretty cool.   #42342
