I always enjoy Lynn Steger Strong’s books and this was no exception.
“A rich exploration of family, ambition, secrets, and love, The Float Test is an elegant and gripping testament to the power that family has to both nurture and destroy us…”

Ocean Vuong is, in my opinion, one of the best wordsmiths and writers of our time. Here, he is back again with another devastating and beautiful story that is deeply rooted in New England and pays attention to those in between. Gorgeous writing and layered relations shine through. The Emperor of Gladness is for anyone relishing in the beauty of the small moment and who understands the grit and grime of existing in the world on the periphery.

I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman is experiencing a revival and for good reason. This feminist speculative fiction story is a modern classic about a group of 40 women imprisoned underground.

Timely and important.
“Let This Radicalize You is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe.”

Saidiya Hartman reads between the lines of the archive to tell the story of women of color in New York and Philadelphia in the 1890s-1930s. Beautifully written with photography interspersed throughout.
