‘The Cold Millions’ by Jess Walter debuts at #11 on PW’s hardcover fiction list. “This could well be Walter’s best work yet,” PW’s starred review said of the novel, the “superb tale of orphaned, train-hopping brothers Gig and Rye Dolan” in early-20th-century Spokane, Wash., and the free speech riots that took place there. “Being a former journalist I discovered early on that fiction is a terrible way to break news,” Walter told PW in a prepub interview. “I think it’s also a hard way to practice politics. What fiction can do is more important than that: it’s such a shot of empathy.” ‘Millions’ is his first novel since 2012’s ‘Beautiful Ruins’, which has sold 677K print copies since its release.
