It was highlighted as a new comic novel that satirizes the pharmaceutical industry with a middleaged protagonist. Maureen Corrigan praised its social satire and humor.
If so, she recommends a new comic novel by Charles Baxter called Blood Test.
It's a challenging time for social satire.
Blood Test, a new novel by Charles Baxter, perhaps spans divisions because it draws upon a triedandtrue comic predicament.
The entity is the pharmaceutical industry.
In Blood Test, Baxter invites us to laugh at this allAmerican zaniness and to acknowledge some of the pain that fuels it.

Her latest novel is called Clean.
Our book critic Maureen Corrigan says the world it depicts is anything but.
Clean is an intense novel about class and power and the kind of deep-down rot that lingers despite the most vigorous scrubbing.

John Powers reviewed Annihilation by Michel Welbeck.
It's called Annihilation.
Although far from his best, it's a fascinating book tinged by mortality.
Welbeck's major works, atomized, platform, submission, and serotonin, were all worshipped or reviled for their seeming cynicism.

The novel was praised as incisive and wry, spanning the 1970s1990s and focusing on two sisters in a New Haven family dealing with mental illness. Reviewers highlighted its sharp family dynamics and emotional depth.
Shred Sisters is indeed incisive and wry.
Shred Sisters spans the 1970s through the 1990s and focuses intensely on the relationship between the two Shred Sisters who live with their parents in New Haven, Connecticut.
Because I admired Betsy Lerner's 2016 memoir, The Bridge Ladies, I thought her new debut novel, Shred Sisters, might just be the right choice.
Turns out, I landed on a good book for the wrong reasons.
Shred Sisters is indeed incisive and wry, but given its central subject, an uppermiddleclass Jewish suburban family all but capsized by the mental illness of one of its members, this novel is anything but contained and controlled.
