Ooo, thank you for the tip about Tana French's mystery/western hybrids. I teach a class called Literature of the American West, and it's nice to have examples of western themes and patterns traveling globally. The Searcher and The Hunter look like great summer reads.
Thanks for the reviews. I am ALWAYS looking for my new favorite book. I also appreciate the Guardian link on abolishing genre. I kind of get it. I call myself genre fluid because I don't want to be pinned down. Look at Beyonce. Look at Taylor. Going all genre might be where the fun is.
Please post about your next read after you finish this foray into Tana French, as I’m very interested in hearing more about the ethical quandary of international adoptions, for obvious reasons. See you soon, maybe even @ Bambino. PIZZA please!
I will do that! Adam just told me this morning he's going to start listening to Jayatissa's "You're Invited," a murder mystery set at a destination wedding in Sri Lanka. It's described as Agatha Christie meets "Crazy Rich Asians." So good!

Yes to genre fluidity! And of course, genre is French for gender. Fluidity is all the rage, truly.
Intricate primer/article/multi-book review, Sara.
