Her most recent novel, 'The End of Mr. Y', should also be checked out. Scarlette Thomas' novels are all good, but 'Popco' is a good place to start. She is a writer to follow. This title is highly recommended.

A view of the Second World War we in the west seldom hear about. Based on information that has only become available since the fall of the Soviet Union.
A great and tragic story. A must read.

An eclectic collection of stories, articles, and musings by some of our best new writers.
Some are experimental and avant-garde, but don't be scared off. This is good solid writing to be read.
Enjoy!

Tree of Smoke: A Novel by Denis Johnson
Michael Carter, October 2, 2007
A very powerful and compulsively readable novel.This just might be THE novel about the Vietnam war and the American experience there.
