Among the 25 titles reviewed this week are Corinne Halbert's graphic novel Acid Nun, "a beautiful and hallucinogenic journey toward self-healing"; Canción, Eduardo Halfon's "gorgeously rendered meditation on borderless identity"; and Lamar Giles's The Getaway, an "intense and unnerving YA dystopian novel" that follows the struggles of a young Black man and his friends under a corporate dictatorship; plus so much more!
We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Hilary Mantel, beloved two-time Booker Prize-winning author of the Wolf Hall series, last week at age 70. Our hearts go out to her husband, her family and her many friends and fans.
