Here goes:
Rabih Alameddine, ‘An Unnecessary Woman,’Grove Press
Molly Antopol, ‘The UnAmericans,’ W.W. Norton& Company (short stories)
John Darnielle, ‘Wolf in White Van,’ Farrar, Straus and Giroux (debut novel)
Anthony Doerr, ‘All the Light We Cannot See,’ Scribner​
Phil Klay, ‘Redeployment,’ The Penguin Press
Emily St. John Mandel, ‘Station Eleven,’ Alfred A. Knopf
Elizabeth McCracken, ‘Thunderstruck & Other Stories,’ The Dial Press
Richard Powers, ‘Orfeo,’ W.W. Norton & Company
Marilynne Robinson, ‘Lila,’ Farrar, Straus and Giroux (Strib review runs in October)
Jane Smiley, ‘Some Luck,’ Alfred A. Knopf (Strib review runs in October)

I am so excited to see Powers and Smiley on there.   :-)    (Although Smiley’s book is not likely to live up to her magnum opus, The Greenlanders.)
