The Five Books to Put on Your Reading List This Fall

Bloomberg  

Welcome to the Fall Culture Preview, where we’re highlighting the best in entertainment as part of the September issue of Bloomberg Businessweek. We’ve already laid out the five museum exhibitions we’re most excited to see, the seven new TV shows to watch, and the eight movies that will have people talking. Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner Kushner made a name for herself as one of the most interesting and adept voices in contemporary fiction with her three previous novels: Telex From Cuba, The Mars Room and The Flamethrowers. Here she continues to extend her range with a thriller that takes place in rural France, where her narrator, a beautiful, deeply cynical American undercover operative who goes by the name Sadie, is embedded in a group of suspected eco-activists. Sadie is there at the behest of shadowy interests to spy and gather evidence of misdeeds, but gradually she becomes transfixed by the group’s enigmatic quasi-founder, who communicates only through long, discursive emails.
