Prose that spans the globe, a prescient novel about a plague and more: 6 new paperbacks

Moira Macdonald, The Seattle Times Need a thrilling thriller? A timely nonfiction collection? A trip back to a literary corner of 1920s London? Here they are ... and all in paperback, too. "Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line" by Deepa Anappara (Random House, $18). The first novel from Anappara, a journalist who spent years working in Mumbai and Delhi, India, won the Edgar Award last month for best novel, presented by the Mystery Writers of America. It's the story of a 9-year-old boy who lives in a slum in an imaginary Indian city, and who turns detective when one of his classmates disappears. "Rich with easy joy, Anappara's writing announces the arrival of a literary supernova," wrote a New York Times reviewer, adding as a warning, "If you begin reading the book in the morning, don't expect to get anything done for the rest of the day."

2020 Hugo House Fellows share works of ‘Luminosity’ for the new year What is luminosity? According to some basic physics, it is just one of the trinities of light's properties. It sits alongside brightness and flux and contributes to warmth. Besides being a lovely concept to ponder during a grey Pacific Northwest January, luminosity is also the communal theme of the readings featured in this episode of Speakers Forum. Presented by the Seattle-based writing center Hugo House, this virtual event featured the works of authors and Hugo House Fellows Sasha LaPointe, Abi Pollokoff, Joyce Chen, Piper Lane, Shelby Handler, and Jen Soriano. The writers share personal stories and poems that illuminate and examine family, community, language, and traditions. Through the lens of ‘Luminosity,' the writers also explore themes of resilience, life, and feminism.
