Other Indie FavoritesCathedral of the Sea, by Ildefonso Falcones (Dutton, $26.95) “Author Falcones’ passion for his homeland and Santa Maria del la Mar, the ‘Cathedral of the Sea,’ shine through this wonderful novel of 14th-century Barcelona and Catalonia. Historical accuracy, well developed characters, and a plot that will keep you riveted set the reader right into a land in conflict. I came away richer for the tale.”

—Becky Milner, Vintage Books, Vancouver, WA

The Chris Farley Show, by Tom Farley, Jr., and Tanner Colby (Viking, $26.95) “In the intimate and touching portrait culled from more than 160 interviews with friends, family, and SNL associates, we come to see Chris Farley as a complex soul who was gifted, gracious, giving, and deeply religious. A surprisingly revelatory offering.”

Another Indie FavoriteThe Foreigner, by Francie Lin (Picador, $14) “This is a daring and original novel, a story of how a Taiwanese-American upholds tradition and ancestral respect against his own cultural and personal dualities, and especially against his own criminal brother. A sinister yet uplifting novel.”

—Marie du Vaure, Vroman’s Bookstore, Pasadena, CA
