WOLVES OF SUMMER
It’s 1979, and Bonnet Shores is slowly knitting itself back together after last summer’s rash of home invasions. The perpetrators were caught, and while alarm systems now protect windows such as 15-year-old Maddie Grove’s, she’s happy to once again have the freedom to stay out late with her friends, and have her crush visit her secretly at night. But then, one July night, Maddie’s 12-year-old sister, Christina, fails to come home. The members of the local beach club, owned by the Mancini family, immediately organize searches, and the Groves’ neighbor, Diana González, who’s studying criminal ju

SWEET PEA
The latest novel by de Waal ( My Name Is Leon , 2016) was published in the U.K. last year as The Best of Everything . It reaches these shores with a new, more memorable title that underscores the story’s folksy tenderness. “My Sweet Pea” is what Paulette’s grandmother called her as a girl on St. Kitts, raising her after the death of her mother. Paulette came to England with Granny at age 11; she was 21 when Granny returned home, leaving Paulette, now working as an auxiliary nurse at Princess Alexandria Hospital, to reminisce about her idyllic Caribbean childhood. When the novel opens in 1972,

MAMA STRANGELOVE
“The world does not need another parenting book,” writes Grimm in her own parenting book, where she likewise notes that parenting can be so exhausting and baffling that it can use all the advice manuals it can get. “Every day of parenting is Saigon in 1975,” she writes. “It is often defeating, sometimes humiliating, and you are left to ponder at the end of the night whether you made the right decisions.” In these pages, she relates some of the lessons she’s learned in her years of raising her three children—Hugo, André, and “explosive” Lulu (“a Mussolini in a tow-headed body”)—comically stress

MY PRESSURES
English actor, director, and motion-capture pioneer Serkis is a thrill-seeker in life—he writes here of his successful “solo assault” on the Matterhorn—and also in his art. His attitude is distilled in his initial response to being asked to play Ulysses Klaue in Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015): “Charismatic South African villain who gets his arm chopped off? Count me in.” Such an adventuresome spirit can’t be expected to write a straightforward memoir or even to give it a straightforward title. (This one plays on Gollum’s catchphrase, “my precious.”) Periodically interrupting Serkis’ c

DESIRE FEEDS THE FEAST
Morrell received a comprehensive education in food and drink from parents who ran a wine business. Moreover, her mother schooled her in social graces and an appreciation for beauty and knowledge, telling her, “Being erudite will only help you in life.” Morrell is erudite indeed, dropping $10 words (exuded, charlatan, unctuous) exactly where they fit. She’s also spectacularly unlucky throughout this memoir, from a terrible accident that ended her girlhood dream of being an equestrian to attaching herself to men who had “a tendency to fuck things up.” Her mother imparted “a restless sense of str

WTF IS A PODCAST WITH MARC MARON
Over its tenure from 2009 to 2025, WTF , Marc Maron’s interview podcast, became a meaningful model for the medium—a line late in the book succinctly states that in the podcast universe, “in terms of one-on-one interviews there was a lot of Maron in the primordial ooze.” He steadily honed his craft, connecting with guests by taking a page from his sobriety journey. Many of his first guests were friends from the comedy world, with whom Maron would reflect on their relationship “to see where he may have hurt them…and [get] their perspective on it.” This relational approach helped broaden WTF ’s a

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE CHRISTMAS MURDERS
Seeking a holiday gift for their landlady, Mrs. Hudson, Sherlock Holmes takes Dr. John Watson to Whiteley’s, where screams and blood alert them to a startling tableau: A man is dangling from the upper branches of the half-decorated Christmas tree adorning the emporium’s main floor. Inspector Darke, the Metropolitan Police officer called to the scene by officious owner William Whiteley, pronounces Albert Robinson’s death accidental even before his body has been taken down and identified, but Holmes quietly corrects him: The carotid artery of Whiteley’s jack-of-all-trades has been cut. The recip

THE SILVER KINGDOM
Prince Zayd of Dakaria doesn’t have time to grieve his dying father or savor a hard-won battle before he’s thrust into assuming a throne he isn’t ready for. Between fending off silver-hungry pirates, trying to avoid an unwanted engagement, and concealing a wound from a deadly poisoned arrow that’s curable only by a rare antidote, Zayd, who has warm brown skin and dark hair, is stretched thinner than his depleted army. Seventeen-year-old, dark-haired, amber-eyed Princess Layla of Sawan arrives in Dakaria reeling from the loss of her father, the shock of her mother’s forcing her betrothal to a p

“Hyena Boys”
1 The hyena boys came to Bonaventure, which was serendipitous, because he was used to avoiding the world before the world spurned him. For one, his white albino skin flecked with dark spots made him a regular target of mockery.

How Derek Walcott’s Postcolonial Epic Helped Me Write My Novel
It’s hard to understate the importance of the classical tradition to postcolonial literature. The Puerto Rican playwright Luis Rafael Sánchez recast Sophocles’ Antigone in La pasión según Antígona Pérez, set in the fictional Caribbean republic of Molina, to portray the

Mary Beth Keane on Writing a Novel of the Irish Diaspora
I’ve always found reading about Ireland compelling, having family lineage that includes a paternal great great grandmother who immigrated from County Cork to Galveston in the nineteenth century. Mary Beth Keane’s Whale Harbor, her fifth novel, was a revelation. She

Watch Soviet Animations of Winnie the Pooh, Created by the Innovative Animator Fyodor Khitruk
In 1962, the animator Fyodor Khitruk made his directorial debut with Story of One Crime, a film that broke with a Soviet tendency to make imitations of Disney-style animations. The film, as The Guardian explained in its 2012 obituary for the animator, came as a shock. It was stylistically simple and dealt with themes that Disney films would never […]
