A Lover’s Discourse is a collection of pinhole cameras all aimed at Love. The resulting kaleidoscope is sometimes indistinguishable from the author himself; Barthes’ personal experience is entangled with a description of love that is ultimately somewhat jagged and bleak. Forthright and unblenching, Barthes meticulously prods the fantasies, anxieties, disappointments, and blisses of love to illuminate its shape in a silhouette that's as relevant today as it was 50 years ago.

In the final chapter of Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Kimmerer “[dreams] of a world guided by a lens of stories rooted in the revelations of science and framed with an Indigenous worldview—stories in which matter and spirit are both given voice.” The book itself is an offering and exemplar of what that might mean and how that might take shape. Concurrently autobiography, indigenous philosophy, and science writing, Kimmerer draws on the traditions of many nations indigenous to Turtle Island—among them Apache, Haudenosaunee, Potawatomi, and Tsleil-Waututh—to patiently and rigorously demonstrate relationships to land, science, and each other that would give voice to both matter and spirit. While geared towards non-indigenous readers, it is neither pandering nor self-compromising; Kimmerer recognizes the imagination required for non-indigenous people to reorient their worldview and offers the grace of believing us capable.

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 their implications to their natural 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.
