The Riddles of the Sphinx<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anna Shechtman<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being an academic fellow<\/a> who\u2019ll join the Arts & Sciences faculty in fall 2024, Shechtman is a star<\/a> in the world of wordplay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She published her first New York Times<\/em> crossword at age 19; went on to work for the paper\u2019s famed puzzle editor, Will Shortz; and helped launch the current incarnation of crosswords in the New Yorker<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, she has published a general-audience book<\/a> on crosswords and their feminist history.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In what Kirkus<\/em> praises as \u201ca forthright self-portrait and perceptive cultural critique,\u201d she interweaves the story of women\u2019s contributions to puzzling\u2014from the 1920s \u201ccrossword craze\u201d onward\u2014with a memoir of her own battle with anorexia, during which constructing puzzles offered both a mental respite and a measure of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo write a good crossword clue\u2014a hard clue, one that frequent solvers will recognize because it\u2019s appended with a question mark, signaling its deception\u2014the puzzle-maker has to loosen a word or phrase from its common set of associations,\u201d Shechtman observes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe has to unsettle its forms\u2014attending to the chance encounters between synonyms and homonyms, idioms and clich\u00e9s\u2014before she can set them down again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Andrew Boryga \u201913<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Times<\/em> calls Boryga\u2019s debut novel<\/a>, a literary satire, \u201cenergetic and deeply satisfying.\u201d His protagonist is Javi Perez, a Puerto Rican writer from the Bronx who rises from poverty and family tragedy to a prestigious university and professional success\u2014in large part because of his deft manipulation of how others view him as a victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That status of victimhood\u2014fueled by Javi\u2019s skill at weaving a convenient and compelling narrative\u2014becomes not only the source of his power, but the crux of a moral quandary and his potential undoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a thorny and nuanced conversation, but Boryga handles it judiciously,\u201d says the Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHis prose is animated and active; his character writing is a crowning achievement. The people who populate the book are, at first glance, so familiar that they could devolve into caricature, but with Boryga\u2019s empathetic prose and startling self-awareness, they come to life with beating hearts and distinct personalities without sacrificing veracity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A former English major, Boryga is also a journalist<\/a> whose work has appeared in the New Yorker <\/em>and elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luigi, the Spider Who Wanted to Be a Kitten<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Michelle Knudsen \u201995<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A prolific author<\/a> of works for young readers, Knudsen is perhaps best known<\/a> for her 2006 picture book Library Lion<\/em>, a New York Times <\/em>bestseller that Time<\/em> magazine called one of the 100 best children\u2019s books of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, she has re-teamed with its illustrator for the tale<\/a> of a friendship between an elderly woman and the gentle spider who lives in her house\u2014and desperately wants to be her pet.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School Library Journal<\/em> dubs the volume \u201ca welcome addition to picture book shelves,\u201d while Booklist<\/em> says, \u201cThe silly, sweet story is packed with humor and marvelous minutiae,\u201d lauding its \u201cmessage of unconditional acceptance sure to make an arachnid ally out of any young reader.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School of Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ishion Hutchinson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hutchinson, the W.E.B. Du Bois Professor in the Humanities<\/a>, was born in Jamaica, and his book-length poem<\/a> draws on his heritage. It highlights the travails of West Indian soldiers serving with the British in the Middle East during World War I, interwoven with the daily life of a schoolboy, named Godspeed, in rural Jamaica in the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work<\/a> was short-listed for the T.S. Eliot Prize. Hutchinson, a recipient of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry, previously published the collections Far District<\/em> and House of Lords and Commons<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a review of School of Instructions<\/em> in the Times Literary Supplement <\/em>observes: \u201cThe two narratives repeatedly play out alongside one another, so that they appear to be inter-related: The flag falls and \/ charcoal burners; shipwrights; tailors; clerks; fishermen; \/ motor engineers; blacksmiths; cooks; mechanics \/ whisks away in the grass. \/ Laughter sweeps across the ranks. The chase earns him \/ his name: Godspeed.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rise and Fall of the Freedman\u2019s Bank<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rodney Brooks \u201975<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this non-fiction volume<\/a>, the veteran financial journalist<\/a> explores the history of the institution that was created to provide a safe place for formerly enslaved people to deposit their savings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he writes, the bank quickly expanded and garnered millions of dollars in deposits. But it ultimately failed, costing many account-holders all or most of their funds\u2014and, as the subtitle observes, having a lasting socio-economic impact on Black America.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a sad and devastating end to something that started out with so much hope and promise,\u201d Brooks writes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday economists and historians point to the failure of the Freedman\u2019s Savings Bank as a contributor to this nation\u2019s racial wealth gap, which remains significant and continues to grow. The median wealth of white American families is nearly seven times that of Black families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks, a former deputy managing editor at USA Today<\/em>, addressed that very issue in his previous book: Fixing the Racial Wealth Gap<\/em>, a guide for Black families on attaining financial security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friends in Napa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sheila Yasmin Marikar \u201905<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This chick lit novel<\/a> comes via the publishing imprint of actor and writer Mindy Kaling, who compares it to \u201cdrinking a glass of wine with an endlessly witty, scandalous friend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot follows a wealthy couple who invite four of their college besties for a reunion weekend at their mansion in California wine country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The six are ostensibly going to indulge in tastings, gourmet meals, and a luxe winery launch\u2014but inevitably, the gathering reignites old grudges, long-held desires, and even simmering violence.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Friends in Napa<\/em> is the second novel for Marikar, following a coming-of-age tale titled The Goddess Effect<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former history major<\/a> is also a journalist whose work has appeared in such venues as the New Yorker<\/em>, the Economist<\/em>, and Fortune<\/em>; a profile she wrote for the New York Times Magazine, <\/em>headlined \u201cThe Fed-Up Chef,\u201d ran in the 2021 edition of Best American Food Writing<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
