Staff Pick of the Week

The Unnamed

By Joshua Ferris

the unusual :
happiness
marriage
a good life

the untimely :
snatched
from our shelter
our safe house of hearts

the unnerving :
changes
a wind whipped street
lifes cruel hard road

joshua ferris has courageously written a novel for all god's lonely children
his story shines even as it darkens
his characters sing even as they're crying
unnamed
unknowing

and finally
understanding

quite simply the novel of the year

undeniably

GREAT
