Sinopsis
Recommending books to readers of contemporary
mainstream, or literary, fiction is perhaps the
most challenging of all endeavors for readers'
advisors. Pearl and her co-authors attempt to
ease the process with this helpful guide to the
most elusive genre. Covering 1,000 novels, many
of them award winners, the book organizes titles
according to their major appeal characteristics
(e.g., language, setting, story, and character)
as delineated by Saricks and Brown in their
standard text, Readers' Advisory Service in the
Public Library, 2d ed., (ALA, 1997). For each
book there is a plot summary, indications on the
book's suitability for book discussion groups,
and recommendations of similar titles. Awards are
cited as well, and all titles mentioned are
indexed by title, author, and subject. Describing
some of the best literature published in the
United States and abroad in recent years, this
book is an essential guide for readers'
advisors, and a helpful collection development
tool.
