A 2018 Booklist Editors&#39; Choice Pick &ldquo;Mike Mu&ntilde;oz is a Holden Caulfield for a new millennium.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review &ldquo;Jonathan Evison takes a battering ram to stereotypes about race and class in his fifth novel,&#160;Lawn Boy . . . full of humor and lots of hope . . .&#160; Evison has written an effervescent novel of hope that can enlighten everyone.&rdquo;&mdash;Washington Post &#160; &ldquo;Irresistible . . . funny, honest and real.&rdquo;&mdash;Seattle Times &ldquo;Evison meticulously evokes a richly detailed marginalized world . . . moving, evocative and beautifully written.&rdquo;&mdash;The Providence Sunday Journal &ldquo;Moving . . . Evison convincingly evokes the small disasters and humiliations that beset America&rsquo;s working poor. Mike&rsquo;s gradual growth into self-awareness is punctuated by moments of human kindness and grace that transpire in and among broken-down trucks, trailer parks, and strip malls. Focusing on the workers who will only ever be welcome in gated communities as hired help, Evison&rsquo;s quiet novel beautifully considers the deterioration of the American Dream.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review&#160; &ldquo;[A] deeply real portrait of an everyday Joe just trying to find his way. Evison combines humor, honesty, and anger with an insightful commentary on class that&rsquo;s also an effective coming-of-age novel.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal, starred review "In his bighearted portrayal of Mike Mu&ntilde;oz, Evison has created an indelible human spirit content to live authentically, which just might prove to be the true American dream." &mdash;Booklist, starred review &ldquo;Evison brings genuine humor to Mike&#39;s trials and tribulations. The writing is razor-sharp, and Evison has an unerring eye for the small details that snap a scene or a character into focus. The first-person narration turns Mike into a living, breathing person, and the reader can&#39;t help but get pulled into his worldview.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews &ldquo;Jonathan Evison&#39;s voice is pure magic. He is a consummate world builder; in his unique universe, there is&#160;heartbreak and love and tragedy, and&mdash;always&mdash;laughter. In Lawn Boy, at once a vibrant coming of age novel and a sharp social commentary on class, Evison offers&#160;a painfully honest portrait of one young man&#39;s&#160;struggle to overcome the hand he&#39;s been dealt in life and reach for his dreams. It&#39;s a journey you won&#39;t want to miss, with an ending you won&#39;t forget.&rdquo; &mdash;Kristin Hannah, author of The Nightingale &ldquo;A triumph from the ground up . . . finally a book that zooms in on social strata without flinching or copping out. Lawn Boy&#160;takes us into the heart, mind and body of Mike Mu&ntilde;oz as he makes a coming of age trek from landscaping crew to navigating the dead American dream&mdash; all the way to reimagining a future on his own terms.&rdquo; &mdash;Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Book of Joan &#160; &ldquo;Jonathan Evison can write about anything and make it sing with hard-bitten empathy. I love it that he writes about working men without condescension. I had jobs like this. And you can tell that he did, too. Tough and strangely sweet at the same time.&rdquo; &mdash;Luis Alberto Urrea, author of Queen of America &ldquo;In Evison&#39;s tough and wry novel, Mike Mu&ntilde;oz is every person who wants a living wage and a little dignity, &lsquo;the opportunity to think beyond sustenance long enough to dream.&rsquo; Jonathan Evison has written a fierce and funny novel about a young man&#39;s attempts to transcend class and poverty.&rdquo; &mdash;Shelf Awareness &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a difficult thing to write uproariously humorous fiction that has heart, passion, and inspiration rolled into it as well. The life of Mike Mu&ntilde;oz is a comedy of self-inflicted errors and familial obstruction, but his positive outlook toward achieving the American dream is infectious and inspiring and will make you laugh and cry, often on the same page, sometimes for the same reason.&rdquo;&mdash;The San Diego Union-Tribune &ldquo;A novel about a young man and the changing American dream.&rdquo;&mdash;New York Post &#160; &ldquo;Few authors handle their characters with the compassion that seems to come naturally to Jonathan Evison. The Seattle novelist&rsquo;s latest work,&#160;Lawn Boy, explores the struggles of the modern American Dream through Mike Mu&ntilde;oz, a young Chicano landscaper in Washington state.&rdquo;&mdash;Seattle Weekly &#160; &ldquo;Evison&rsquo;s enthusiasm for his protagonist and his book&rsquo;s message is evident on every page. It&rsquo;s the kind of book that elbows its way into your head and forces you to think about your world in a new way.&rdquo;&mdash;Seattle Review of Books &#160; &ldquo;The book explores the lives of people like Mike with humor and compassion, wrestling with how you get ahead when you can barely stop falling behind.&rdquo; &mdash;Salt Lake City Weekly &ldquo;A coming-of-age story wrapped in a conversational critique of class and capitalism, with equal doses of humor and heart planted here and there.&rdquo; &mdash;Bainbridge Island Review &#160; &ldquo;Joyful, funny, and life-affirming.&rdquo; &mdash;Signature Reads &#160; &ldquo;A swift, engaging read, with an alternately wry and wistful sense of humor. But it also addresses painful territory head-on, especially when it comes to American economic and cultural inequality.&rdquo; &mdash;Cascadia Magazine &#160; &ldquo;Moving, hilarious, and uplifting . . . The genius of the novel, and of its author, lies in the complexity of emotions Mike&rsquo;s journey evokes, both from its hopeful beginning to its unexpected fulfillment. But it&rsquo;s also in the nature of that fulfillment&mdash;in the subtle sleight of hand Evison works to show that the grass can be greener on either side of the fence.&rdquo; &mdash;Four Corners Free Press &#160; &ldquo;In this funny, angry, touching, and ultimately deeply inspiring novel, the bestselling author takes the reader into the heart and mind of a young Chicano living in Washington State on a journey to discover himself, a search to find the secret to achieving the American dream of happiness and prosperity.&rdquo; &mdash;Edmonds News (Edmonds, WA) &#160; &ldquo;An entertaining read, with a few surprises up its sleeve.&rdquo; &mdash;BookReporter  &#160; &ldquo;Lawn Boy is an important, entertaining, and completely winning novel about social class distinctions, about overcoming cultural discrimination, and about standing up for oneself.&rdquo; &mdash;BookBrowse

"With a scholar's careful eye and a pastor's heart ... Tim Mooney employs the insights of art, theology, literature, popular culture and his own winsome humanity to invite us to become the children Jesus meant. This is an important book."—John Buchanan, editor/publisher, The Christian Century"Invites us to ... boldly explore the realm of grace.... Equips us with navigational aids in the form of biblical understandings, spiritual practices, and stories from those who’ve undertaken the journey. This book inspires hope ... and faith."—Susan S. Phillips, PhD, executive director and Christian studies professor, New College Berkeley; author, Candlelight: Illuminating the Art of Spiritual Direction“Who of us has not wondered ... why Jesus praised spiritual childhood so much? ... This might be the most intelligent, inspiring and integrated book I have read on the subject.

Named a best book of 2019 by TIME, NPR, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and BookRiot.PEN America Translation Prize longlistWarwick Prize for Women in Translation shortlist&ldquo;A marvelously weird and fablelike mystery. . . . Authors with Tokarczuk&rsquo;s vending machine of phrasing . . . and gimlet eye for human behavior. . . are rarely also masters of pacing and suspense. But even as Tokarczuk sticks landing after landing . . . her asides are never desultory or a liability. They are more like little cuts &mdash; quick, exacting and purposefully belated in their bleeding. . . . This book is not a mere whodunit: It&rsquo;s a philosophical fairy tale about life and death that&rsquo;s been trying to spill its secrets. Secrets that, if you&rsquo;ve kept your ear to the ground, you knew in your bones all along.&rdquo; &mdash;&#160;New York Times Book Review&ldquo;While it adopts the straightforward structure of a murder mystery, [the book features] macabre humor and morbid philosophical interludes [that] are distinctive to its author. . . [and an] excellent payoff at the finale. . . . As for Ms. Tokarczuk, there&rsquo;s no doubt: She&rsquo;s a gifted, original writer, and the appearance of her novels in English is a welcome development.&rdquo; &mdash; The Wall Street Journal &ldquo;Drive Your Plow&#160;is exhilarating in a way that feels fierce and private, almost inarticulable; it&rsquo;s&#160;one of the most existentially refreshing novels I&rsquo;ve read in a long time.&rdquo; &mdash;&#160;The New Yorker &ldquo;A paean to nature. . . a sort of ode to Blake. . . [and] a lament. . . Does Tokarczuk transcend Blake? Arguable &mdash;perhaps.&rdquo; &mdash; NPR &#160; &ldquo;A&#160;brilliant literary murder mystery.&rdquo;&#160;&#160;&ndash;Chicago Tribune  &ldquo; A winding, imaginative, genre-defying story. Part murder mystery, part fairy tale,&#160;Drive Your Plow&#160;is a thrilling philosophical examination of the ways in which some living creatures are privileged above others.&rdquo;&#160;&ndash; TIME &ldquo;Shimmering with subversive brilliance . . . . this is not your conventional crime story&mdash;for Tokarczuk is not your conventional writer. Through her extraordinary talent and intellect, and her &lsquo;thinking novels,&rsquo; she ponders and tackles larger ecological and political issues. The stakes are always high; Tokarczuk repeatedly rises to the occasion and raises a call to arms.&rdquo;&mdash;HuffPost&#160; &ldquo;Sometimes the opening sentence of a first-person narrative can so vividly capture the personality of its speaker that you immediately want to spend all the time you can in their company. That&rsquo;s the case with . . .&#160;Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead&#160;&#160;. . .&#160; [a] barbed and subversive tale about what it takes to challenge the complacency of the powers that be.&rdquo; &mdash;Boston Globe&#160;  &ldquo;Bewitching. . .. Serious crosscurrents &hellip; explore everything from animal rights to predetermination to the way society stigmatizes and marginalizes those it considers mad, strange or simply different . . . Tokarczuk is capable of miracles and ensures that this extraordinary novel soars.&rdquo; &mdash;Minneapolis Star Tribune&#160; "Sardonic humour and gothic plot-twists add a layer of macabre rustic comedy."&#160;&ndash; The Economist&#160; &#160; "One of the funniest books of the year.&rdquo; &ndash;&#160;The Guardian &#160;&ldquo;Written with humor, charm, and a great talent for mystery &hellip; a sharp, memorable alternative to those dime-a-dozen beach bag potboilers without losing any of the whodunnit appeal.&rdquo; &mdash;Town & Country&#160;
