NYT has recommended "Subdivision" by J. Robert Lennon

Subdivision, a novel by professor J. Robert Lennon, has made the New York Times' list of "10 New Books We Recommend This Week:"

"Lennon's ninth novel is a dazzling puzzle box: The narrator arrives in a town full of mysteries, and each chapter provides a clue to besting the danger ahead. Folkloric elements, including a stalking crow and a shape-shifting demon, carry the reader along until quantum physics takes hold of the plot."
