BEA’s Three Panels of Buzz Books

March 3, 2015
By Michael Cader

BEA has announced the fall books to be featured on the convention’s three Buzz Books panels in May. The adult panel is evenly divided between fiction and nonfiction. There’s one debut novel (from Stegner Fellow and Paris Review Plimpton Prize winner Ottessa Moshfegh); one adult debut (YA author Ruth Warburton, writing as Ruth Ware — for the debut title from Gallery’s Scout Press); and one novel that’s been buzzed since it was sold in fall 2013, from Garth Risk Hallberg, already promoted as a Winter Institute buzz book and now back for more:
