What Anna is looking for
Anna loves books that challenge our understanding of form and genre, and is drawn to many-layered, nuanced writing that explores the possibilities of language. She prefers moral ambiguity to moral absolutism, novels dealing with memory and truth, and — with notable exceptions like Emily St. John Mandel — stories set in the here and now. In nonfiction she loves the overlooked and unexpected, particularly books about art, the body, the mind, and the natural world.
