The #1 Indie Next Pick for June is The Son: A Novel by Philipp Meyer!

“Epic yet intimate, Meyer’s The Son is the best kind of historical fiction. Vivid characters and great storytelling bring to life a distant time and place, while the themes and issues explored are completely relevant to our time. The interwoven perspectives of the three generations of the McCullough family create a counterpoint as each comments on the others, their mores, and their expectations and how these change over time. This is what great literature should be: a page-turner with a serious moral purpose.”

—Scott Kinberger, Books Inc., San Francisco, CA

A true story: On a recent flight to Rome, I spied a copy of Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter in the seatback pocket of the woman sitting to my right. While we were chatting, I asked her about the book. It was given to her by a colleague who said that she take it with her on her vacation in Cinque Terre—a prominent setting of the novel. Though he was on page 40, he insisted that she borrow the book from him.

I gushed about Beautiful Ruins, a unanimous thumbs-up / 5-star read with my book club, and offered full disclosure of professional affiliation…

My neighbor on Delta 246 started the book before I fell asleep, and told me that she was hooked by the time the flight attendants came around with beverage service and woke me up.

““Life is energy, and energy is creativity. And even when we as individuals pass on, the energy is retained in the work of art, locked in it and awaiting release if only someone will take the time and the care to unlock it.””
