An incredible piece of journalism, The Once and Future Riot lays out the events of the 2013 Muzaffarbagar Riots in Uttar Pradesh, as well as those preceding and following. Shuttling between conflicting reports of both the riots themselves and the political context in which they took place, Joe Sacco massages out a distinctly historical story with compounding implications on the hoary distinction between democracy and mob rule.

Set in contemporary Ukraine, this book begins with the journey of
three women who who for the bridal (marriage) tourist industry: a
maverick scientist trying to save Ukraine's endangered snails with her
mobile home and two sisters looking for their feminist-activist mom.
Its narrative style is unusual and takes a pleasantly surprising and
unexpected turn mid-way through. The author's playful, absurd
storytelling juxtaposes well to its more serious topics of identity,
war and loss. I haven't read a book that could make me laugh out loud
and break my heart at the same time. Maria Reva is Canadian writer of
Ukrainian descent and this is her debut novel. Definitely worth a read
for anyone who likes their absurd topped with depth!

The violent oppression of thought, culture and religion in Elizabethan England is the era in which the dramatist and poet Christopher Marlowe is born. From extremely humble beginnings, Christopher gets a scholarship to attend school in Canterbury. I really enjoyed how important learning how to read was for this time. Reading and writing challenged the political system and Marlowe's writing exposed transgressive desires and dangerous scepticism of society. He helped open these doors for other writers, including Shakespeare, and propelled English writing into the light. A story of the love of reading, spies, and of course, the tragic end of Marlowe. A thrilling story of subversion and creativity in dark times - a story that we should not repeat in a time when books are once again being banned.

Macfarlane shows, rather than tells, both this book’s question and its answer. The book is pinioned by stakes firmly planted in his experiences of three rivers: the Río Los Cedros in Ecuador, the Adyar River who runs through Chennai, and Muteshekau-Shipu running into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The chalkstream springs at Nine Wells Wood, Cambridge pool between these stakes and are the fabric through which the consequences of his experiences are felt. Macfarlane’s encounters with these rivers, and the people through and with whom he encounters them, take the forefront over a report of the modern and global status of the rights of nature movement. We are invited to encounter these rivers and people ourselves and to follow them to their natural implications and conclusions. This book is a beautiful example of the lending of form to function, and a persuasive elucidation of what it means and how it feels to recognize a river’s aliveness.

Algospeak isn’t just about how social media is transforming the future of language, though it definitely describes that. It’s also about so much that is tangled into that: how social media algorithms work and how those algorithms shape are entangled with how we consume, how we identify ourselves, and and how we identify other people. Aleksic paints his picture with reference to Swifties, incels, and folklore, extending far past the etymology from which he garnered a platform. Robustly researched and clearly explained, Algospeak gives a very clear-eyed description of how old linguistic patterns have played and are playing out in this new arena of communication.

Following the first year of a pair of infant twins’ lives, this book feels out the edges of what growing up is. It’s short and poignant, the twins holding themselves and each other up to everything around them—Mother, Father, books, rabbits—to continually expand, contract and rewrite their understanding of everything. Glück flows easily through the characters and their impressions, her poeticism never lifting the prose outside the babies’ world. Marigold and Rose is as delightful as it is serious, as much a charming armchair read as an exposition on the function of language.

This series hangs on the linchpin of Lyra, a willful and fanciful girl who takes on the mission to find and bring back her friend Roger, who mysteriously disappeared. She is embroiled in the politics of the kingdom of armored bears, a world that seems to only be occupied by children, and a war against religious tyranny. What’s exceptional about this series is the way the ideas and questions build on each other over the course of the books. Rather than just accumulating lore or plot, His Dark Materials asks increasingly layered and nuanced questions about the nature of being, personhood, and adulthood, all in the context of a genuinely gripping fantasy plot. This series takes children as intellectually serious without being dry or pedantic, a fusion of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings.

In a captivating blend of fiction and nonfiction, art critics Zarina Muhammad and Gabrielle de la Puente less explore or explain the experience of artists today than impress it. Following fictional artist Quest Talukdar through interactions with different and dramatized facets of the art world (a disabled artist who sent themselves to space; the head of their university, a mountain of discarded art pieces; the ghost of nineteenth-century French painter Gustave Courbet) Muhammad and de la Puente impart a gut-twisting portrait of the art world and offer a path away from it. This book is not just for artists, it’s for anyone wanting to understand the art-industrial complex (and through it other industrial complexes) and how we can dismantle them.
