Holy cats, I loved Amy Gentry's latest thriller, Bad Habits. The story of a toxic friendship in a venomous grad school program, Bad Habits is a rollicking, smart, twisted novel that smolders with fury until its final pyrotechnic conflagration. This b ...more |

I can't believe that I'm not seeing more about Maria Adelmann's How to Be Eaten because it is a goddam delight. This novel interweaves stories by five (or arguably six) narrators who are based on well-known fairytales, updated to reflect contemporary ...more | |

If you think late-stage capitalism is broken, boy howdy, do I have a book for you. The Cult of We is the story of the meteoric rise and noisy fall of WeWork, the late 2010 startup that infested first Manhattan and then the world like a growing noxiou ...more | |

When people say that we're not living through Handmaid's Tale, we are living through Parable of the Sower, they are not wrong. Octavia Butler's first installment of her post-apocalyptic Earthseed trilogy is a gripping, taut, surprisingly tender read. ...more |

Dense, vertiginous, deeply researched, slyly funny, absurdly pompous, and gleefully wicked, The Debt to Pleasure is the best little crime novel that no one talks about. This is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, John Lanchester’s Debt to P ...more | |

“Female psychopaths, researchers eventually realized, don't present like the males. To which I respond: No shit. We women have an emotional wiliness that shellacs us in glossy patina of caring. We have been raised to take interest in promoting healthy interior lives of other humans; preparation, I suppose, for taking on the emotional labor of motherhood - or marriage; either way, really. Few women come into maturity unscathed by the suffocating pink press of girlhood, and even psychopaths are touched by the long, frilly arm of feminine expectations. It's not that women psychopaths don't exist; it's that we fake it better than men.”

“We talk about love like it's an involuntary act. We fall into love, like a hole, a puddle, an elevator shaft. We never step mindfully into love. Love we seem to think, requires a loss of control; love necessitates that vertiginous giving over to gravity; love wants you to have no choice.”
