Worn: A People's History of Clothing
Sofi Thanhauser![Molly Fischer](https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/avatars/twt_91467162.jpeg)
(I also recommend Sofi Thanhauser's "Worn," from earlier this year, which spins a fascinating yarn re: how the garment industry got so bleak)

The Argonauts
Maggie Nelson![Molly Fischer](https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/avatars/twt_91467162.jpeg)
The Argonauts is a moving exploration of family and love, but it’s also a meditation on the seductions, contradictions, limitations, and beauties of being normal, as a person and as an artist.

Morning After the Revolution: Dispatches from the Wrong Side of History
Nellie Bowles![Molly Fischer](https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/avatars/twt_91467162.jpeg)
Her book raises a question that Wolfe and Didion, working in the sixties and seventies, never had to face. How does a writer make use of such material in a way that takes into account the peculiar perspective – at once vividly proximate and remote – that online detritus affords?

What Shall I Wear?: The What, Where, When, and How Much of Fashion, New Edition
Claire McCardell![Molly Fischer](https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/avatars/twt_91467162.jpeg)
McCardell offers a reminder of the many kinds of fashion pleasure that exist beyond image-making and instant gratification: the texture of a much-washed T-shirt, the smell of wool, the rediscovery of an old necklace worn a new way.
