Jumper III
This is the third book featuring John Cable, also known as "Jumper." There is a mystery to solve, but also some laughs along the way. Jumper is a gentle, big-hearted guy in his mid 20s who lives in a tiny apartment near Colfax Avenue in Denver, Colorado. He was orphaned as a kid but slipped through the social services cracks and wound up living alone, raising himself. He's not stupid or mentally challenged but his grammar and vocabulary remain stunted. These books are written in his simple, uneducated voice. As with Huck Finn, sometimes that's funny. In Jumper III, our hero is thrust into the completely alien (to him) world of professors of English Literature and their feud about the authorship of Shakespeare's plays. While navigating those dark and mysterious waters, Jumper tries to find a stray dog's home and solve a murder.

How to Leave the House
A New Yorker Best Book of the Year "It may sound peculiar that a story featuring chapter-length text message exchanges and a hysterical egg fight during a gender reveal party could contain such potent, moving allusions to philosophy and James Joyce, let alone be filled with richly observed artistic references reminiscent of Ali Smith, but Newman weaves the analytical and the absurd with a raucous grace. . .Profound--and profoundly sidesplitting." --Bobby Finger, The New York Times Book Review It's Natwest's last day before he leaves for university, and there's only one thing on his mind: the deeply embarrassing package he ordered to his house--which still hasn't arrived. He won't leave town without it. Any alternative is too distressing to consider. . . This is the story of twenty-four hours in the life of Natwest, and his small-town odyssey in pursuit of the missing package. And yet it's also the story of a middle-aged dentist who dreams of being a respected artist--but the only thing he can seem to paint is the human mouth. And it's the story of a tortured imam involved in a quasi-romantic entanglement with the local vicar; and an octogenerian mourning the death of her secretive husband; and a troubled teenager whose nudes have leaked on the internet. It's the story of Natwest's obnoxious ex-boyfriend, and his class-traitor mother and her childhood boyfriend, and the life-changing secrets he knows about Natwest's past. Alternating between Natwest's idiosyncratic inner world and the perspectives of the other characters--and dazzling in its energy, imagination and originality--this is an outrageously funny and tenderly moving story about being connected to everyone and everything at all times; about love, friendship, and the lies we tell ourselves; about unhappy endings, happy endings--and whether anything really is as simple as one or the other.
