Lots of Great Fiction!

In the continuing parade of new books at the Del Norte Library, may I introduce: Fiction.

A thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini is an emotional and well-written novel set in Afghanistan over a thirty year period. If you liked The Kite Runner, you will want to read Hosseini's next book.


Snow Country is anovel by Japanes Writer Yasunari Kawabata that won the Noble Prize for literature. It tells the story of a doomed love in western Japan.


The Stories of Alice Adams contains 53 short stories by the author who died in 1999. They are reminiscent of F. Scott Fitzgerald and should interest any English Major.


Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes is a classic example of escapist literature and this edition is translated from the Spanish by Edith Grossman. Our library lacked this story and now we have it. The author died the same year as Shakespeare but like the writings of the Bard, this book becomes more relevant as time goes by.
