Nina Revoyr
In Nina Revoyr’s latest novel, Wingshooters (Akashic, $23.95), the child of a white American father and a Japanese mother, lives with her grandparents in Deerhorn, Wisconsin--a small town that had been entirely white before her arrival. Rejected and bullied, Michelle spends her time reading, avoiding fights, and roaming the countryside with her dog Brett. This fragile peace is threatened when the expansion of the local clinic leads to the arrival of a young black couple from Chicago. Revoyr is the author of three other novels: The Age of Dreaming, Southland, and The Necessary Hunger.
