    Content: "The Charlie Hebdo attacks were neither the first nor the last within a wave of political violence with religious, fundamentalist motivations that has affected Arab as well as Western countries. In the latter, after the deadly attack on the Twin Towers in New York City on September 11, 2001, the bombs in Madrid in 2004 and London in 2005 shocked the public. Given the religious beliefs and claims of the perpetrators, the ensuing debate revolved around a predictable cleavage. On one side, the Right called for law and order, rallying around the protection of Christian values against invasion by Islam (and migrants in general). On the other side were those defending the values of inclusion and pluralism, as well as migrants' rights overall. The fact that the target of the January 2015 attacks was a journal long identified with the left challenged the established path of argumentation. The right now had to defend freedom of speech for what was often considered a blasphemous outlet.
    Content: On the left, the argument now had to consider potential limitations not only on free speech, but also on tolerance and pluralism. The attacks thus produced a short circuit, collapsing the debate on several issues related to various dimensions of citizenship, from freedom to security. They did so in a highly emotional atmosphere in which an in- versus out-polarization tended to rise, with Islam emerging as the core definitional element of the attackers and, therefore, of the problem itself. Indeed, the Charlie Hebdo attacks signaled a shift in the strategies of Islamist political violence from targeting the symbols of institutions of Western power - as with the September 11 attacks or the disruptive bombings of public transportation, with indiscriminately selected victims - to the targeting of what was perceived as an alternative, libertarian symbol.
    Content: The attacks certainly triggered increased security measures and more exclusive politics towards migration, with securitarian policies and increased border control. As they were followed by other brutal acts of violence in France in November and in Belgium the following year, they contributed to calls for and practices of states of emergency that further reduced civil and political rights. The attacks also further influenced the reactions to the so-called "refugee crisis" in 2015 and 2016, as fears about the "terrorists" potentially hidden among the asylum seekers often trumped compassion towards them. While similar acts of political violence often have important consequences, in particular in terms of the policy responses to them - as frequently represented in the literature on terrorism and counter-terrorism - we want to address a specific effect of the Charlie Hebdo attacks by looking at the public debates produced by the event.

    Content: " LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARDThe highly original, blistering, and unconventional memoir by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer , which has now sold over one million copies worldwide With insight, humor, formal invention, and lyricism, in A Man of Two Faces Viet Thanh Nguyen rewinds the film of his own life. He expands the genre of personal memoir by acknowledging larger stories of refugeehood, colonization, and ideas about Vietnam and America, writing with his trademark sardonic wit and incisive analysis, as well as a deep emotional openness about his life as a father and a son. At the age of four, Nguyen and his family are forced to flee his hometown of Ban M234 Thu7897 t and come to the USA as refugees. After being removed from his brother and parents and homed with a family on his own, Nguyen is later allowed to resettle into his own family in suburban San Jos233 . But there is violence hidden behind the sunny fa231 ade of what he calls AMERICATM. One Christmas Eve, when Nguyen is nine, while watching cartoons at home, he learns that his parents have been shot while working at their grocery store, the S224 iG242 n M7899 i, a place where he sometimes helps price tins of fruit with a sticker gun. Years later, as a teenager, the blood-stirring drama of the films of the Vietnam War such as Apocalypse Now throw Nguyen into an existential crisis: how can he be both American and Vietnamese, both the killer and the person being killed? When he learns about an adopted sister who has stayed back in Vietnam, and ultimately visits her, he grows to understand just how much his parents have left behind. And as his parents age, he worries increasingly about their comfort and care, and realizes that some of their older wounds are reopening. Profound in its emotions and brilliant in its thinking about cultural power, A Man of Two Faces explores the necessity of both forgetting and of memory, the promises America so readily makes and breaks, and the exceptional life story of one of the most original and important writers working today.

The flight his family undertook from Vietnam to the United States, his temporary removal from them, the shooting of his parents one Christmas Eve at their grocery store in San Jose, the fractured sense of identity that has pervaded his life--all are summed up in an account that's both wide-ranging and deeply personal.

This is a war story, writes Nguyen, an acclaimed author of fiction (The Sympathizer, The Refugees) and nonfiction (Nothing Ever Dies), in an autobiography that is deeply personal and intensely political. In nonlinear fashion, the author recounts his family's flight from wartime Vietnam in 1975, when he was 4,a childhood in San Jos�, California, where his parents (called, in their native tongue, Ba M�) operated a Vietnamese grocery store,and his development as a writer, scholar (he is a professor of English, American studies, and ethnicity at the University of Southern California), and conflicted citizen of what he sardonically calls AMERICA(TM)--a process that inevitably widens the gap with his immigrant parents. Along the way, Nguyen offers sharp assessments of Vietnam War films such as Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, The Deer Hunter, and The Green Berets, the latter a work of propaganda so spectacular and atrocious that only the Third Reich or Hollywood could have produced it. If the author's criticism is understandably scathing, there is also a mischievous sense of humor, as when he includes a page of one-star Amazon reviews of The Sympathizer (Absurdist and repulsive,If you like torture read this book,Bafflingly overpraised). The sections about Ba M�, shaded by the unreliability of memory, strike a melancholy note, although his parents remain somewhat hazy as characters. Idiosyncratic typographical treatments--passages set like lines of poetry,words blown up in large type--add visual variety without quite justifying themselves. Readers seeking the anchor of narrative will be frustrated, but Nguyen indisputably captures the workings of a quicksilver and penetrating mind. The author includes a selection of black-and-white photos. A fragmentary reflection on the refugee experience, at once lyrical and biting, by one of our leading writers.

Having fled war-riven Vietnam as a young boy, greatly lauded Nguyen delves into the ongoing traumas of losing one's home and country, stating that refugees are seen as the zombies of the world. Tracing the lives of his hard-working parents who owned and managed a store in San Jos�, he recounts his dawning recognition of the deep contradictions within the American Dream as television, movies, and comics revealed the embedded racism that made his being both Vietnamese and American a perpetually difficult balancing act. The doubleness he navigates is expressed in his probing narrative voice as he addresses himself in different modes as a man of two faces. As Nguyen chronicles his loving family's struggles and triumphs, and his becoming a professor, a writer, a husband, and a father, he dissects the legacies of colonialism, war, and displacement, as well as the racial hierarchy, lies, and denial that permeate American life and culture. Nguyen, whose trenchant essays appear in such venues as the New York Times and the Washington Post, offers a uniquely intricate, clarion, and far-reaching inquiry into what we disparage and what we value, asserting the bedrock necessity of history, story, and remembrance.HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: With his highly awarded first novel, The Sympathizer, adapted for a forthcoming streaming series, Nguyen's unflinching blend of memoir and social critique will garner avid attention.

Arriving in the U.S. in 1975, at age four, Nguyen was placed with a different sponsor family than his parents and brother, the first of many perplexing and traumatizing acts inflicted on him by his new homeland. In early sections, Nguyen intersperses stories of his California youth—flush with opportunity, thanks to the sacrifices of his shop owner parents, with whom he was promptly reunited—with pop culture critiques and citations of postcolonial literature. As a young adult, Nguyen pursued an academic, writerly path, and his parents seemed headed for a well-earned retirement. But his mother, who survived a litany of horrors back in Vietnam, suffered a mental break from which she never recovered. Nguyen’s writing about his mother exemplifies the memoir’s self-awareness: he longs to honor her, but worries that doing so on the page is a “betrayal.” Elsewhere, Nguyen’s self-knowledge is employed to funnier ends, as when he skewers the model-refugee memoir with painful precision, laying out a blueprint from “old-world hardship” to “reconciliation” for aspiring practitioners to follow (“For writers hoping to win literary prizes,” he advises, “express reconciliation with great subtlety, mixed with regret and melancholy”). It’s a savvy and complex account of coming-of-age in a foreign land. Agent: Nat Sobel, Sobel Weber Assoc. "

    Content: "Thrillingly tells the story of an Eastern European Jew's flight from the Holocaust and the years he spent fighting in the French underground. 8212 USA Today An American Library in Paris Book Award Coups de Coeur Selection The Art of Resistance is unlike any World War II memoir before it. Its author, Justus Rosenberg, has spent the past seventy years teaching the classics of literature to American college students. Hidden within him, however, was a remarkable true story of wartime courage and romance worthy of a great novel. Here is Professor Rosenberg's elegant and gripping chronicle of his youth in Nazi-occupied Europe, when he risked everything to stand against evil.In 1937, after witnessing a violent Nazi mob in his hometown of Danzig, a majority German city on the Baltic Sea, sixteen-year-old Justus Rosenberg was sent by his Jewish parents to Paris to finish his education in safety. Three years later, the Nazis came again, as France fell to the Germans. Alone and in danger, Justus fled Paris, heading south. A chance meeting led him to Varian Fry, an American journalist in Marseille who led a clandestine network helping thousands of men and women8212 including many legendary artists and intellectuals, among them Hannah Arendt, Marc Chagall, Andre Breton, and Max Ernst8212 escape the Nazis. With his intimate understanding of French and German culture, and fluency in several languages, including English, Justus became an invaluable member of Fry's operation as a spy and scout. After the Vichy government expelled Fry from France, Justus worked in Grenoble, recruiting young men and women for the Underground Army. For the next four years, he would be an essential component of the Resistance, relying on his wits and skills to survive several close calls with death. Once, he found himself in a Nazi internment camp, with his next stop Auschwitz8212 and yet Justus found an ingenious way to escape. He two years during the war gathering intelligence, surveying German installations and troop movements on the Mediterranean. Then, after the allied invasion at Normandy in 1944, Justus became a guerrilla fighter, participating in and leading commando raids to disrupt the German retreat across France. At the end of the Second World War, Justus emigrated to America, and built a new life. For the past fifty years, he has taught literature at Bard College, shaping the inner lives of generations of students. Now he adds his own story to the library of great coming-of-age memoirs: The Art of Resistance is a powerful saga of bravery and defiance, a true-life spy thriller touched throughout by a professor's wisdom.

Rezension(6): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: October 15, 2019 A gripping memoir from an Eastern European Jew who fought in the French Resistance. Born in 1921, Rosenberg, who has received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star from the U.S. Army for his service in World War II, thrived within a loving Polish family into his teenage years. His residence in Danzig meant immersion in both Polish and German culture, and his parents believed that Danzig's well-integrated Jewish population would escape the rise of Hitler and his Nazi supporters. When that optimism began to crumble, the 16-year-old Rosenberg departed Danzig to study in Paris. (Nobody knew then that most of his relatives would be slaughtered in the Holocaust. Rosenberg's parents and sister survived, but the author would be separated from them until 1952.) The German invasion of France interrupted Rosenberg's studies. On his own, with dwindling cash, he decided against trying to flee the Nazi juggernaut. Instead, he found a path to joining the underground resistance against the Nazis, centered in occupied France and comprised of fighters from a variety of backgrounds, including expatriate Americans. Rosenberg offered special value as a Resistance guerrilla for multiple reasons: Given his blond hair and other physical features, he did not look Jewish. His baby face meant that he could easily pass as a schoolboy. He spoke Polish, German, Yiddish, and English. He could subsist on meager resources during wartime hardships. He welcomed all assignments offered by Resistance commanders, and he was fearless. The narrative unfolds chronologically, in semi-diary format, and while readers will know, of course, that Rosenberg avoided death, the narrative tension is continuous, as the author recalls imprisonments, escapes from confinement, and successful missions against the Nazis. The author's writing style is crystal-clear and understated, as he wisely allows the drama to unfold from the events themselves. As the war wound down, Rosenberg was unsure about his future. Eventually, he settled in the U.S. and has taught language and literature for 70 years. A welcome addition to the World War II memoir shelf. COPYRIGHT(2019) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

As the Nazis tightened their grip on the Free City of Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland) in 1937, Rosenberg’s parents sent their blue-eyed, blond, 16-year-old son to schooling and safety in Paris. Three years later, he fled south after the Nazis occupied the city. In Marseille, through an amazing “confluence of circumstances,” he met an American journalist named Varian Fry who helped artists and intellectuals escape Nazi occupation. Rosenberg’s German background, French education, and fluency in several languages allowed him to become a successful espionage agent, and he went on to work with Fry, assisting the likes of Marc Chagall, Andre Breton, Franz Werfel, and Max Ernst to escape into Spain. Rosenberg, a modest narrator, nevertheless writes thrillingly of his life—of participating in reconnaissance and guerrilla attacks,joining the 636th Tank Destroyer Battalion as interpreter and scout,and serving as supply officer for the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration—all while dodging injury, imprisonment, and death. Rosenberg’s memoir has all the suspense of a tense spy thriller."

Unable to join the French Army because of his Polish birth, Rosenberg eventually joined the French Underground, serving as a recruiter, intelligence operative, and guerilla fighter. He ended the war as an interrogator attached to a U.S. Army tank destroyer battalion. From there, he became a supply officer for the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), helping to rebuild post-war Germany. At long last, he was able to return to the Sorbonne to finish his studies in literature, was offered a teaching position in the United States, and finally found out that his parents and sister--alone of the 68 members of his extended family--survived the war. VERDICT Rosenberg provides a thrilling account of gut-wrenching wartime experiences,an epilog details what happened to the major players in his life during that time.

    Content: Although international attention on the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh has waned, the challenges have not. This theoretically informed and empirically rich volume explores the social, economic, political, environmental, and security implications of nearly one million refugees. Policymakers, advocates, and researchers should read this book. -Geoffrey Macdonald, Ph.D., Bangladesh Country Director, International Republican Institute, Bangladesh This book presents thirteen chapters which probe the “tales less told” and “pathways less traveled” in refugee camp living. Rohingya camps in Bangladesh since August 2017 supply these “tales” and “pathways”. They dwell upon/reflect camp violence, sexual/gender discrimination, intersectionality, justice, the sudden COVID camp entry, human security, children education, innovation, and relocation plans. Built largely upon field trips, these narratives interestingly interweave with both theoretical threads (hypotheses) and tapestries (net-effects), feeding into the security-driven pulls of political realism, or disseminating from humanitarian-driven socioeconomic pushes, but mostly combining them. Post-ethnic cleansing and post-exodus windows open up a murky future for Rohingya and global refugees. We learn of positive offshoots (of camp innovations exposing civil society relevance) and negative (like human and sex trafficking beyond Bangladeshi and Myanmar borders), as of navigating (a) local–global linkages of every dynamic and (b) fast-moving current circumstances against stoic historical leftovers.

    Content: This book looks at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on migrants globally who bear disproportionate burdens of health disparities. Centering the voices of migrants as anchors for theorizing health, the chapters adopt an array of decolonizing and interventionist methodologies that offer conceptual communicative resources for re-organizing economics, politics, culture, and society in logics of care. Each chapter focuses on the health of migrants during the pandemic, highlighting the role of communication in amplifying and solving the health crisis experienced by migrants. The chapters draw together various communicative resources and practices tied to migrant negotiations of precarity and exclusion. Health is situated amidst the forces of authoritarianism, disinformation, hate, and exploitation targeting migrant bodies. The book builds a narrative archive witnessing this fundamental geopolitical rupture in the 21st century, documenting the violence built into the zeitgeist of labor exploitation amidst neoliberal transformations, situating health with the extractive and exploitative forms of organizing migrant labor. The book is essential reading for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses for scholars studying critical and global health, development, and participatory communication, migration, globalization, international and intercultural communication interested in the questions of precarity and marginality of health during pandemics. Satveer Kaur-Gill is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at The Dartmouth Institute of Health Policy and Clinical Practice, Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth College. Broadly, Satveer studies the role communication plays in bridging health equity for populations facing health disparities. Mohan J Dutta is Dean's Chair Professor and Director of the Center for Culture-centered Approach to Research and Evaluation (CARE) at Massey University.

    Content: " A sweeping story of three generations of women, crossing from London to Ireland and back again, and the enduring effort to retrieve the secrets of the past It's London, 1960, and Aoife Kelly once the sparkling object of young men's affections runs pubs with her brusque, barking husband, Cash. Their courtship began in wartime London, before they returned to Ireland with their daughters in tow. One of these daughters fiery, independent-minded Rosaleen moves back to London, where she meets and begins an affair with the famous sculptor Felix Lehmann, a German-Jewish refugee artist over twice her tender eighteen years. When Rosaleen finds herself pregnant with Felix's child, she is evicted from her flat, dismissed from her job, and desperate to hide the secret from her family. Where, and to whom, can she turn? Meanwhile, Kate, another generation down, lives in present-day London with her young daughter and husband, an unsuccessful musician and destructive alcoholic. Adopted and floundering to find a sense of herself in the midst of her unhappy marriage, Kate sets out to track down her birth mother, a search that leads her to a Magdalene Laundry in Ireland and the harrowing history that it holds. Stirring and nostalgic at moments, visceral and propulsive at others, I Couldn't Love You More is a tender, candid portrait of love, sex, motherhood, and the enduring ties of family. It is impossible not to fall under the spell of this tale of mothers and daughters, wives and muses, secrets and outright lies. "

In 1939, Aiofe Kelly marries the dashing Cashel. They run a London pub and send their daughters to a Catholic boarding school in the Irish countryside during the war. Rosaleen, their feisty daughter, hopes to be a journalist, but her dreams are put on hold in 1959 when an opportunity at the Daily Express turns out to be a lowly mail-sorting job. She omits mention of her diminished circumstances in letters to her parents and falls in love with a Jewish sculptor, Felix Lichtman, many years her senior, and becomes pregnant, only to learn he already has a wife and child. Next, the reader meets Kate, who, in 1991, is married to a hapless musician with a drinking problem. Kate adores their daughter, Freya, and is an artist in her own right. Kate, who was adopted, frequently imagines seeing her birth mother, whom she learned about at age 10. As Freud delves into the three women’s lives, the reader is taken on a journey of heartbreak as desperate actions taken to protect loved ones are revealed.

" Rezension(8): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: May 15, 2021 Braiding the lives of mothers and daughters in England and Ireland across three generations, Freud explores the joys, heartbreaks, and aching enigmas of family bonds. Freud's gifts for female empathy and fluid storytelling are fully evident in her ninth novel, which follows the Kelly family from pre-World War II years to more modern times. The lineage begins with Aoife, whose plans for a more ambitious life than her mother's are reshaped by her love for Cashel Kelly, a man with Ireland in his blood (read traditionalism and sternly fixed opinions). After the war, Cashel and Aoife give up their London pub and move back to Ireland with their three daughters to farm. But their rebellious oldest, Rosaleen, craves freedom and soon returns to London, claiming a career at a national newspaper though her job is in the mailroom. Still in her teens, Rosaleen has already met Felix--older, richer, a sculptor, the man who couldn't love her more but who will turn away at the crucial moment. Freud's menfolk often prove flawed, including Matt, the unreliable, alcoholic partner of another woman, Kate, whose life of art teaching and care for her daughter, Freya, become increasingly driven by the search for her birth mother. The bones of Freud's story emerge predictably, taking in scenes at the pitiless Convent of the Sacred Heart in Cork, a home for unwed pregnant girls, where Rosaleen suffers the tirelessly punitive attentions of the nuns. Viewers of the movies Philomena and The Magdalene Sisters will feel on horribly familiar territory here while the later developments of the narrative for all three women offer more emotional intensity than surprises. Yet the author's insight is apparent, both in her character studies and expression, as the ambiguity of the book's title demonstrates. A vivid, reliable saga of female experience.

" Rezension(9): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: June 1, 2021 In this novel spanning five decades of the twentieth century in London and Ireland, Freud (Mr. Mac and Me, 2015) tells the stories of three Irish women struggling with loss: Aoife Kelly,her daughter, Rosaleen,and Kate Hayes, Rosaleen's child, born out of wedlock and promptly adopted. What has become of Rosaleen, once the smartest girl in County Cork, a rebellious, black-haired beauty, is the mystery that shadows Aoife's life and creates a hole in Kate's. Not yet 20, Rosaleen crosses the Irish Sea to pursue her dream of becoming a London newspaper writer. She falls in love with an older, devastatingly charming, but damaged sculptor. It's 1960, so only Rosaleen pays the harrowing price for surrendering to the powerful fizz of love and sex, taking her pregnant self to the Convent of the Sacred Heart, a notorious Magdalene laundry. Freud follows the three women for another 30 years, subtly and often viscerally capturing the complex human emotions that course below the surface of a society where attitudes about sex, sin, secrets, silence, and shame spread damage and loss to all. With poignant symbolism and heartbreaking empathy, Freud lays bare the fraught relationships between men and women, parents and children, and the holy bond between mother and child.

The 22 authors represented are a varied and never boring cohort, most of whom reminisce about beloved series from childhood, such as The Great Brain and Encyclopedia Brown (both adored by Andrew Sean Greer and Michael Chabon). All of the interviewees muse intently on what they value about touchstone writers: Madeline Miller enthuses about discovering Margaret Atwood and Lorrie Moore in high school, who “were just so exciting, linguistically, to read... I didn’t know you could use language like that,” while Laila Lalami praises V.S. Naipaul, particularly A House for Mr. Biswas , for his candid exploration of the “cross-cultural encounter.” Susan Choi recalls, with some embarrassment, trying to write her version of George Orwell’s 1984 . As Pearl and Schwager note, “One of the best parts of talking about books with people... is discovering that you share a love of the same books.” Readers of this delightful compendium will relish the chance to find many of those shared loves, as well as discover new ones.

Librarian and literary critic Pearl teamed up with media journalist, producer, and playwright Schwager to interview American writers about the books that whispered most persistently in their ears. They asked a diverse selection of novelists, poets, and nonfiction writers, how does the practice of reading inform the life of a writer? Gently probing interviews elicited thoughtful responses about books that informed each writer's literary sensibility and professional aspirations. Appended to each interview is a brief list of the writer's treasured titles. Not surprisingly, many attest to having been early and enthusiastic readers. Jonathan Lethem described himself as a prodigious, insatiable reader when he was young. Jennifer Egan, too, was a precocious reader, and she was drawn to Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca when she was 11 and discovered Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth in high school. Wharton, she says, became a huge touchstone for me, as did writers she hoped to emulate, including Ethan Canin, Michael Chabon, and Don DeLillo. For Lethem, Kafka's The Trial became this talismanic thing. Louise Erdrich remembers the impact made by Herman Wouk's Marjorie Morningstar. You started me, Herman, you started me, she recalls. For several writers, the books they read as children felt alien to the world in which they lived. Susan Choi, the biracial daughter of Jewish and Korean parents, thought of books as a portal to some better place, where all the pretty people live in nice landscapes. Growing up in Morocco, attending French schools, novelist Laila Lalami found books exclusively populated by French people with French concerns. As a Vietnamese refugee, Viet Thanh Nguyen found Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are literally too dark for me. Other interviewees include Luis Alberto Urrea, T.C. Boyle, Siri Hustvedt, and Donna Tartt. A spirited collection offering intimate insights into the writing life. COPYRIGHT(2020) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

This inquisitive duo traveled the country to speak with writers not so much about their physical libraries, but the libraries they carry around in their hearts and minds. The central questions? Why do you read, and how does reading help you write? ?engendered marvelously free-wheeling conversations powered by enrapturing candor and brilliant commentary on the craft and resonance of literature. A striking number of writers confess to early, voracious, and wildly indiscriminate reading, while many named Homer, Flannery O'Connor, James Baldwin, Ray Bradbury, Toni Morrison, Joan Didion, and Lorrie Moore as crucial influences. Carnegie Medal winners Jennifer Egan, Richard Ford, Viet Thanh Nguyen, and Donna Tartt are mesmerizing. Russell Banks recounts his part in getting his mentor, Nelson Algren, fired from the Bread Loaf Writers Conference. A school poster inspired young Michael Chabon to read Newbery winners. Mazaa Mengiste shares her youthful reading focus on books about revolutions. Complete with lists of titles from each writer's inner library, this is a zestfully elucidating and inspiring portal onto the lives and thoughts of truly exceptional writers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)

Interviewees reveal what they read as children, as well as the books influencing their writing today. Here, library refers not to a physical collections but rather the works that shaped an author's output. Contributors include Laila Lalami, Luis Alberto Urrea, Maaza Mengista, Louisa Erdrich, and Siri Hustvedt, alongside Pulitzer Prize winners Jennifer Egan, Viet Thanh Nguyen, and Richard Ford. Among the most inspirational figures: Toni Morrison, followed by James Baldwin, Joan Didion, Denis Johnson, and Lorrie Moore.
