The Turner House (Mariner Books), $15, by Angela Flournoy “I’m an evangelist for this book. It’s a beautiful, assured debut about a sprawling Detroit family and their problems, which are at once modern and timeless.”

Citizen Vince (Harper Perennial), $15, by Jess Walter “A lot of readers found Jess Walter with the publication of Beautiful Ruins. But this 2005 novel about a man in the witness protection program eager to vote in the 1980 presidential election is my favorite.”

Sharp (Grove Press), available April 10, $26, by Michelle Dean “Sort of my platonic ideal nerdapalooza of a book, a study of seminal female writers, including Dorothy Parker, Mary McCarthy and Susan Sontag. The whole is even greater than the sum of its incisive parts.” Available in bookstores and online
