Adam Langer Good for Book Clubs
Adam Langer, author of our own July 2005 selection Crossing California, gets some love in Booklist's Book Group blog where Neil Hollands calls him an author "who more people should be reading." Hollands gives a brief description of each of Langer's novels and his recent father-focused memoir, saying that his work is "easy to access, full of laughter, but worthy of careful examination as well." Having included Langer's work in our own Book Club, I wholeheartedly agree.

Our first book of 2010 is described as "a comic, tragic masterpiece of an American family breaking down in an age of easy fixes." The Corrections is the winner of the 2001 National Book Award for Fiction.
