O’Rourke’s telling is an essential one ... One of the book’s most riveting themes is how O’Rourke grapples with her identity as a sick person ... Invisible Kingdom couldn’t be more timely.

Delia Owens has had ties to a murder in Zambia for years, got a book deal, sold millions of copies, and got a movie deal. So much for “cancel culture.” https://www.theatlantic.com/books/archive/2022/07/where-the-crawdads-sing-delia-mark-owens-zambia-murder/670479/

🙏 Shout out to Southbound in this piece: “Our ‘armchairs’ [from the disdainful refrain of ‘armchair activism’] have become the primary portals for our current sociopolitical movement,” social justice activist Anjali Enjeti wrote in her book Southbound." https://t.co/hMiGKCX6mR

For the @StarTribune, I wrote about Ayad Akhtar's new book, Homeland Elegies, that blends memoir and fiction in a thrilling and timely post-9/11 story. https://t.co/93eJSx6rTl

Epic … Shree scrupulously examines the demarcation between life and death, mother and daughter, past and present, and how grief and memory, when harnessed, have the power to cultivate long lost connections.

@MaureenLangloss Know My Name by Chantel Miller! It's one of my favs! And of course graphic memoirs like Thi Bui's The Best We Could Do, Laura Gao's Messy Roots, Kristen Radtke's Imagine Only Wanting this.

I’m a day late, but a happy book birthday to Gathering Blossoms Under Fire, edited by my friend, mentor, editor, and colleague, the late Valerie Boyd. So sad that you are not here for this triumphant moment, Friend. https://www.salon.com/2022/04/12/alice-walkers-gathering-blossoms-under-fire-and-the-rare-gift-of-black-womens-published-journals/
