Who is your favorite novelist of all time? “Sing, Unburied, Sing,” by Jesmyn Ward “What Happened,” by Hillary Clinton “Manhattan Beach,” by Jennifer Egan “The Power,” by Naomi Alderman and “Little Fires Everywhere,” by Celeste Ng. “I know that somewhere she’s sitting with a martini and telling her friends to check out her daughter’s new book.” The author, most recently, of “The Great Alone” credits her mother for her interest in writing.
