Only read the cancer "biography". Know something about the subject and thought it was very well done. Pretty "dense" reading, though. None of the fiction looks very interesting to me, but I've been surprised before. Unfamiliar with the other authors except Franzen.

I've heard of one of them.
The Jennifer Egan is quite good.Ann Beattie and William Trevor are fine writers. I've read them but not these particular books.
Not familiar with any of them either.

This seems like a pretty safe list to me. No surprises. I have the Trevor book.
I've read most of Beattie's previous collections and the Trevor is on my list.
