The Best Books Of 2013 (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)
It’s been a good year for books. Cute kitties may dominate the web,
but good writers are breaking out all over. Critics are smiling.
Readers, too. We’ve got a big John Dos Passos-style American deep dive
in George Packer’s “The Unwinding.” Motorcyles and avant-garde art in
Rachel Kushner’s “The Flamethrowers.” Men down, in Jesmyn Ward’s “The
Men We Reaped.” White girls in Hilton Als’ “White Girls.” A freed
slave and John Brown in James McBride’s “The Good Lord Bird.” And a
whole lot more. This hour On Point: the best books, great reads, of
2013.
