This month, if you read just one former “Arrested Development” writer’s comic novel about a woman who used to write for TV but has shifted gears, make it “Go Gentle.” Weirdly, two novels that fit that description are out in the span of a week: “Go Gentle” is by Maria Semple, whose “Where’d Y…

            Review: Divorce rocks a ’70s community in ‘Lake Effect’

              An entire neighborhood full of people is racing to tell us about a shocking divorce in “Lake Effect” and, in the dazzling final sentences of the book, we finally understand who they are.

              Five books we can't wait to read in April

                There’s good news and bad news on the Anthony Horowitz book that’s hitting store and library shelves this spring. The good news is that his annual satiric mystery is almost here.

Horowitz’s ...
