Looking for something enjoyable and reasonably light for summer hols, so probably not Faulkner. Last year I read a novel by Emma Straub I think it was called modern lovers and that hit the right note. I’d also consider Lionel Shriver, haven’t read the Mandibles yet.
There are also some books written by Russian Jewish emigres to New York I was meaning to read, but can’t find authors’ names. Thanks for any help!
