With full force, a new season has arrived. Spring, elusive as ever, has molted completely into a preview of the summer that awaits, and all that it will hold: soft serve ice creams, quests to enter any pool on offer, and endless reading in parks. A new collection of park reading material arrives today: the much anticipated debut novel, a “nonbinary epic” by Paige Lewis, as well as the counterpart to Ali Smith’s Gliff both hit the shelves. Essays by Jesmyn Ward, and a revealing and staggering portrait of Stanford University’s inner workings are also released. Whether you’re in the mood for a novel or nonfiction, this week holds an enormous amount of new material. Read on, and happy Tuesday!

Paige Lewis, Canon
(Viking)
“I promise that you have never read a book like Canon. It’s a scorchingly brilliant, wildly funny, and deeply moving epic.”
