Between Two Covers: Dr. Todd Robinson Recommends a Novel

January 21st, 2026

On Between Two Covers, the UNO Writers’ Workshop shares thoughtful book recommendations that invite readers to slow down and reconnect with the power of storytelling. This time, Dr. Todd Robinson brings us a novel that lingers long after the final page.

Robinson highlights a work that blends sharp observation with emotional depth, the kind of novel that feels intimate and expansive at the same time. Through richly drawn characters and a quietly compelling narrative, the book explores identity, memory, and the small moments that shape who we become.

It is a reminder of why fiction matters. Not for spectacle, but for insight. Not for answers, but for understanding. According to Robinson, this is the kind of novel that rewards close reading and invites reflection, making it a perfect companion for anyone looking to start the year with a meaningful literary experience.
