supplement2It’s fall! The air is crisp, the leaves are falling, and I can’t seem to leave my house. Instead, I’m gonna read reviews. This week, we’ve got reviews of two novels and three installments from our Last Book I Loved series. Also, be sure not two miss a great week of essays from Rumpus books.

A review of But Not For Long, Michelle Wildgen’s second novel.

You Caught Me — A review of Tao Lin’s new autobiographical novella Shoplifting from American Apparel.

And three last books I loved: The Leopard by Gieuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, In the Land of Dreamy Dreams by Ellen Gilchrist,  and I Am Not Sidney Poritier by Percival Everett.

Also, it’s been a particularly good week for Rumpus essays: The Facts About John Cheever by Brock Clarke, The Scholar and the Pornographer by Carolyn See, and this review of the film adaptation of Brief Interviews with Hideous Men.
