Jonathan Lethem has a new novel, "Chronic City", coming out and Orhan Pamuk has a new novel coming out in English called "The Museum of Innocence.

Plus, just to get things started, Richard Powers' new novel, "Generosity: An Enhancement" will be coming out on September 29th.

Our modern world is truly a bounteous and wonderful place.

These are not newly released, but "The Short Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" by Junot Diaz and "The Ecstatic" by Victor D. LaValle are fantastic.

Earlier work by Lethem, esp. "Motherless Brooklyn" is great and Richard Powers' "Three Farmers on the Way to a Dance" and "Operation Wandering Souls" are incredible.
