Publishers Weekly magazine has posted its list of best books of 2009. Coffee House Press is on the fiction list, with its book "Cry of the Sloth" by Sam Savage. You can read the star tribune review here.
And Graywolf Press, recently of St. Paul, now of Minneapolis, is also on the list for "Chronic," a collection of poetry by D. A. Powell. You can read the whole list here .
Other lovely, unexpected books on the list are "Once the Shore," a collection of short stories by Paul Yoon, "Tinkers," by Paul Harding, and "Stitches," a remarkable memoir by David Small. (Review forthcoming in the Star Tribune.)
Meanwhile, across the pond, the Dublin International Impac Literary Award has announced its long list. It's a pretty long long list, but it includes Louise Erdrich's "Plague of Doves," as well as "The Sorrows of an American" by former Minnesotan Siri Hustvedt. (And "Man in the Dark," by her husband, Paul Auster.) Also, Leif Enger's "So Brave Young and Handsome."
You can read the whole list here.
