Eating to Extinction: The World's Rarest Foods and Why We Need to Save Them
by Dan Saladino
(2/2/2022)
The book is written in easy-to-understand language, and readers will finish every chapter feeling they have learned something new and valuable in an almost effortless way. What, exactly, they will learn are the histories and stories of diverse and important foods that are in danger of never being tasted again. Hopefully, with the help of Saladino's efforts, more attention will be brought to the issue of food extinction. While he offers no simple solutions, the information he provides, coupled wi

The Woman They Could Not Silence: One Woman, Her Incredible Fight for Freedom, and the Men Who Tried to Make Her Disappear
by Kate Moore
(7/14/2021)
Throughout the book, there is a disturbing similarity between the bystanders of Packard's time and those of today, especially pertaining to domestic abuse and harassment of women by men in power. Readers will also be able to locate clear parallels between measures used to certify a woman "insane" in the 1800s and the standards and expectations used against women now regarding appearance, age and intelligence. Today, women are still battling gender-based judgments having to do with body shape and

Zorrie
by Laird Hunt
(2/17/2021)
Readers will be able to relate to Zorrie's struggles, and will feel a sense of familiarity with situations of hardship, grief and perseverance through the unknown. Most importantly, those struggles occur against a backdrop of perpetual hope and the will of a woman who never allows life to take away her kindness, compassion, grace and determined spirit. Hunt's language is simple, at times almost too sparse, yet elegant and filled with intensity. The speed with which he introduces and ends interse

Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It
by Ethan Kross
(2/3/2021)
Using a combination of research, scientific grounding and personal experience, Kross writes about an academic subject in layman's terms while providing down-to-earth, honest advice. His presentation is easy to grasp but never condescending, and his thoughtful inclusion of anecdotes of his own and from others guards against making readers feel intellectually or emotionally intimidated. Kross defines "chatter" as "the cyclical negative thoughts and emotions that turn our singular capacity for intr

The Office of Historical Corrections: A Novella and Stories
by Danielle Evans
(1/6/2021)
This collection contains six short stories along with the titular novella, a piece that challenges American narratives stemming from a colonial and racist past. It would be easy to assume that the novella is the highlight of the book, with the preceding stories serving as mere preludes, but this assumption would be inaccurate. While the novella is certainly memorable and arresting, the short stories stand alone as prescient, unique literary revelations of mortality, desire and other aspects of t

The Dazzling Truth: A Novel
by Helen Cullen
(10/7/2020)
Cullen makes the decision to begin the novel in the present with a tragedy that seems like it should be an ending, followed by flashbacks of events leading up to it. Without the burden of wondering how the story will end, the reader is able to reflect on both the subtle and obvious progressions of mental illness and on the various ways people choose to protect themselves from the pain of watching a loved one struggle. Using prose that is at once graceful and unassuming, Cullen describes physical
