So. Many. Book Links.



Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more.

Fairly quiet on the books news front today (and I would expect it to be this way for awhile for reasons you can probably guess and are feeling yourself. Nervous), so I am clear out my digital pockets with a bunch of stuff I have saved for Today in Books, but don’t have much to say about this to say except: “Huh this is pretty interesting. I bet some people will be into this.”
