Some books I am anticipating (or hoping for) in 2016

1. Karl Ove Knausgaard, My Struggle, volume 4 paperback and volume 5 hardcover
   I know the UK has Volume 4 in paperback but we don’t get the beautiful FSG edition until April 2016. Volume 5 comes out in hardcover around the same time. Keep working hard, Don Bartlett!

   
   

2. The Hatred of Poetry by Ben Lerner (June, 2016) - In this inventive and lucid essay, Lerner takes the hatred of poetry as the starting point of his defense of the art.
3. Anything by Eliza Minot
   She hasn’t published a book in eight years. Hopefully she is working on something wonderful.
4. David Hering’s book on Infinite Jest, forthcoming from Bloomsbury.
5. Anything by Beth Nugent
   She hasn’t published a book in almost 20 years, but a boy can dream.
6. Understanding Roberto Bolaño by Ricardo Gutiérrez-Mouat due out next summer.
7. A comprehensive, critical biography of either Roberto Bolaño or David Markson.
8. My brother’s book! Master of The Cinematic Universe: The Secret Code to Writing In The New World of Media by John Bucher and Jeremy Casper, due out in 2016.
