Reviews
The NYT reviews No Visible Bruises: What We Don’t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us by Rachel Louise Snyder (Bloomsbury: Macmillan): “powerful … domestic violence has reached epidemic proportions in the United States.” Also, Underland: A Deep Time Journey by Robert Macfarlane (W.W. Norton; LJ starred review): “an epic exploration and examination of darkness and the caverns underground that have captured our imaginations, pulled us downward, housed our dead and allowed us to bury our most violent secrets. It is also a descent into the beauty where dark wisdom is located.” Loudermilk: Or, The Real Poet; Or, The Origin of the World by Lucy Ives (Soft Skull Press): “a clever new satire of writing programs." Grace Will Lead Us Home: The Charleston Church Massacre and the Hard, Inspiring Journey to Forgiveness by Jennifer Berry Hawes (St. Martin’s: Macmillan): “[a] soul-shaking chronicle.” The Children’s Books column is out. So is The Shortlist.
Entertainment Weekly reviews On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong (Penguin; LJ starred review) and Patsy by Nicole Dennis-Benn (Liveright: W.W. Norton; LJ starred review), giving both an A- and calling them “essential queer novels.” NPR reviews Life with Picasso by Françoise Gilot (NYRB Classics): “stands as both an invaluable work of art history and a revealing precursor to the literature of #MeToo.”
The Washington Post reviews More News Tomorrow by Susan Richards Shreve (W.W. Norton): “a well-tuned mandolin of a gothic adventure.” Also, How to Forget: A Daughter's Memoir by Kate Mulgrew (William Morrow: Harper): “poignant, sometimes shocking." The Nonsense Factory: The Making and Breaking of the American Legal System by Bruce Cannon Gibney (Hachette): “most engaging when he applies his business mind to the civil justice system.” Upheaval: Turning Points for Nations in Crisis by Jared Diamond (Little, Brown: Hachette; LJ starred review): “Though the analysis stumbles, the virtues of Diamond’s storytelling shine through. Ignore his attempts to force the therapeutic 12-step onto history.”Briefly Noted
