A consensus is building that Big Machine, Victor LaValle’s third novel, could be his breakout. The Wall St. Journal explores the expectations around the literary novel, which has a first printing of 10,000 copies, and its author, who some are calling a “Junot Diaz in trainng.”
Most libraries we checked had two copies, some with modest reserves. Both Publishers Weekly and Kirkus gave the novel starred reviews.
