Our book of the week is JOHN OF JOHN by
Douglas Stuart, the Booker Prize-winning author of SHUGGIE BAIN.
Set in the remote Scottish Hebrides among a weaving community, this
story of John and his son Cal was an Oprah Book Club pick, a
finalist for the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction and picked by
many as a Most Anticipated Book of 2026. Is it more Brokeback
Mountain or Greek tragedy, or something else?
Coming up: HOUR OF THE
STAR by Clarice Lispector translated by Benjamin Moser.
