One week after debuting on the Los Angeles Times Hardcover Nonfiction List, Diane Keaton shot up to the top spot on the list this week with her memoir, Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty. For the 28th out of 29 weeks since being released, The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, is the number 1 book on the Los Angeles Times Hardcover Fiction List.
There is only one debut on the Nonfiction List this week, George Saunder's Congratulations, by the Way , which is an expanded version of his 2013 commencement speech at Syracuse University. On the Fiction List the only newcomer is Natchez Burning, Greg Iles' first novel in five years.
