2015-07-15 01:03:13| Powells Books Events Calendar
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for his novel about North Korea, The Orphan Master's Son, Adam Johnson is one of America's most provocative authors. Critics have compared him to Kurt Vonnegut, David Mitchell, and George Saunders, but Johnson's new book will only further his reputation as one of our most original writers. Subtly surreal, darkly comic, both hilarious and heartbreaking, Fortune Smiles (Random House) is a major collection of stories that gives voice to the perspectives we don't often hear, while offering something rare in fiction: a new way of looking at the world.
