A blind man spends his days roaming the beaches of Kenya collecting shells, classifying them by feeling their whorls, spines and folds in his fingers. A young woman discovers that she can explore the inner world of an animal’s mind by touching its freshly dead body. A refugee from Liberia, who cannot escape the horrors that he has witnessed, finds salvation in the clandestine act of burying the hearts of beached whales.\nIn The Shell Collector Antony Doerr illuminates both the riotous dangers of the natural world and the rocky terrain of the human heart.

Memory Wall

Anthony Doerr's brilliant new collection of stories is about memory: the source of meaning and coherence in our lives, and the fragile thread that connects us to ourselves and to others. Now includes 'The Deep', which was awarded the 2011 Sunday Times Short Story Award. In the luminous title story, a young boy in South Africa comes to possess an old woman's secret, a piece of the past with the power to redeem a life. In 'The River Nemunas', a teenaged orphan moves from Kansas to Lithuania, and discovers a world in which myth becomes real. And in 'Afterworld,' a woman who escaped the Holocaust is haunted by visions of her childhood friends in Germany, yet finds solace in the tender ministrations of her grandson. The stories in Memory Wall show us how we figure the world, and show Anthony Doerr to be a master of the form.

All the Light We Cannot See

2015 pulitzer prize winner (fiction) a beautiful, stunningly ambitious novel about a blind french girl and a german boy whose paths collide in occupied france as both try to survive the devastation of world war ii. When marie laure goes blind, aged six, her father builds her a model of their paris neighborhood, so she can memorize it with her fingers and then navigate the real streets. But when the germans occupy paris, father and daughter flee to saint-malo on the brittany coast, where marie-laure's agoraphobic great uncle lives in a tall, narrow house by the sea wall. In another world in germany, an orphan boy, werner, is enchanted by a crude radio. He becomes a master at building and fixing radios, a talent ultimately makes him a highly specialized tracker of the resistance. Werner travels through the heart of hitler youth to the far-flung outskirts of russia, and finally into saint-malo, where his path converges with marie-laure. Deftly interweaving the lives of marie-laure and werner, doerr illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, all the light we cannot see is his most ambitious and dazzling work.
