The Rumpus Sunday Book Review Supplement

supplement2 Good morning my fellow Rumpusians, as Christmas steadily approaches and the panic to procure becomes almost reptilian, I can honestly say I’ve never handled so many one hundred dollar bills.

Are there that many people out there with so much money?

Apparently so. And it is interesting how they spend it. (Dr. Seuss books and fancy coffees.)

On that unrelated note, please enjoy this Sunday’s pre-Christmas Book Review Supplement!

Megan Roth reviews Dylan Landis’s debut Normal People Don’t Live Like This.

“I Tried To Remember Your Scent As Your Own” — a review of Alison Stine’s poetry collection Ohio Violence.

The Truth Is Out There — a review of David Oppegaard’s latest novel Wormwood, Nevada.

Peter Rock: The Last Book I Loved, Bluets.

And lastly,

A brief consideration of the works of Paul Bowles.
