With summer winding down (yes, it's true, sadly), let's take a look ahead at some of the best books coming our way this fall:
Different from his epic, "My Struggle," "Autumn" begins a new quartet of books written as a series of hundreds of short texts explaining the world to his unborn child. (Aug)
A family of disillusioned black Americans with odd superpowers who once influenced the civil rights movement turn to a life of crime. Huge praise from Toni Morrison and one of the buzz books of the season. (Aug)
A return to realism in a Manhattan that echoes the current events of today. (Sep)
A collection of Harvard University lectures from this Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning author that includes discussion of her own classic novels. Introduction by Ta-Nehisi Coates. (Sep)

From the author of "Middlesex" and "The Virgin Suicides" comes his first collection of short stories spanning a 25-year career. (Oct)
Fast on the heels of "LaRose," Erdrich writes her first dystopian novel with strains of the great movie, "Children of Men," and the recently revived classic, "The Handmaid's Tale." (Nov)
