On my list of books to read: novelist and short story writer Ann Beattie's new work, Onlookers.
It is described as being a book of linked short stories, which take place in Charlottesville, VA. The book, published by Scribner, was released on July 18th.

As I've mentioned previously, in this space, I lived in Charlottesville--a city for which I continue to feel great affection--from the spring of 1995 until the start of 2001.
