The Vivisectors by Missouri Williams
From Missouri Williams, winner of the Republic of Consciousness Prize for The Doloriad, a novel set in a famed but dying university city increasingly overrun by nature and the gardeners who govern it, following a reclusive graduate student who is forced into a complicated friendship with a divisive student; an exploration of faith, selfhood, love, and metaphor.
The Life of the Party by hannah baer
From clinical psychologist, contributor to n+1 and Artforum, and author of the memoir Trans Girl Suicide Museum, a treatise on and a loving ode to throwing parties, blending instructions, memoir, and cultural history, and ultimately making a case for how gathering together can radically reconfigure our relationships to the world and to each other
Fear of a Female Genius by Lindsay Zoladz
From Lindsay Zoladz, New York Times critic and cultural critic, a feminist history of the idea of artistic genius and a critical journey through the lives and work of many female artists, writers, and musicians who transformed male-dominated fields, including Joni Mitchell, Yoko Ono, Elaine May, Hilma af Klint, and Mary Shelley, as well as several previously unsung female artists, all of whom inspire and argument for a new and more expansive understanding of genius itself.
How to Live by Lucy Jakub
From former editor at the New York Review of Books, an exploration of the life and work of the renowned animation director, Studio Ghibli cofounder, and cultural icon Hayao Miyazaki, weaving together history, criticism, and philosophy to provide a new understanding of Miyazaki's beloved films and the lessons they hold for children and adults alike.
Play the Tape by Rembert Browne
From Rembert Browne, former writer-at-large at New York magazine and staff writer at Grantland, a cultural history tracing the last 20 years of the American experiment—from Black culture and domestic politics to an Internet that suddenly made everything possible—alongside a generation's coming-of-age and the author's own stories of success, setback, and survival, to interrogate how we got to this unprecedented point, so the past can inform our future.
Weird Era by Ryan Schreiber
From Ryan Schreiber, founder of Pitchfork, a chronicle charting the site's improbable journey from early internet bedroom blog to the world's most influential music publication, while also telling the story of the music and generation of listeners Pitchfork launched along the way.
Mad Eden by Morgan Thomas
From Morgan Thomas, author of Manywhere and finalist for the LA Times Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction and Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction, a novel following a trans couple, one of whom works as a patient navigator for trans youth and is recently diagnosed as autistic, living in Florida's backwoods when unexpected danger finds them; structured along an exploration of the relationship between autism and time itself, examining found family, language, gender, imagination, and care in an increasingly fraught age.
Caring at the End of the World by Xiaowei Wang
From Xiaowei Wang, author of Blockchain Chicken Farm and 2023 National Book Foundation Science + Literature Award winner, a chronicle of the entanglement of technology and care in America—in particular the way in which quick-fix technology has transformed our beliefs about what it means to be healthy, and how to care for ourselves and our communities.
