From a New York Times By the Book interview with author Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah”

What books are on your night stand?
“Greenwood,” by Michael Christie, “House Gone Quiet,” by Kelsey Norris, “House of Cotton,” by Monica Brashears, and “Grace Engine,” by Joshua Burton.

What’s the last great book you read?
I loved “Greenwood,” by Michael Christie. Really impressive on the line level. Extremely ambitious structurally. He swung for the fences and made contact for sure.
