“The earth was running out of resources, global warming was beginning to be recognized as science fact and not science fiction, and if man was to evolve to play a part in things...we'd have to seed life elsewhere—on Mars, to begin with.” At Politics and Prose Bookstore, T. C. Boyle reads from his latest novel, The Terranauts (Ecco, 2016).

Check out the cinematic book trailer, directed by Jamieson Fry, for the new novel by T. C. Boyle. San Miguel, published this month by Viking, follows two families, one in the 1880s and one in the 1930s, and their pursuit of self-reliance and freedom on a desolate island off the coast of California.

This especially cinematic (and dramatic) book trailer for T. C. Boyle's thirteenth novel, When the Killing's Done, published last week by Viking, was directed by Jamieson Fry. Check out the first lines of this and eleven more new and noteworthy books in this issue's Page One.
