I'm always slow to pick up the novels that everybody's reading, so I only recently got around to Hilary Mantel's Man Booker Prize-winning duo, Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. Mantel takes over familiar historical material—Henry VIII offloading his ...more

I recently finished reading Naomi Alderman's The Power, which won the 2017 Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction. Everything about The Power feels determined to disorient the reader in the best possible way. The story is told as though it is a history, a ...more

My selection is Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. First published in 1968, Desert Solitaire has become a classic of nature writing and a touchstone for conservationists. By turns lyrical, elegiac, poetic, and prickly, it is an exploration of Arches N ...more
