In This Issue

In this week's issue: in her third novel, Take What You Need, Idra Novey crafts "a bold and uncompromising novel from a clear-eyed point of view"; veteran NPR correspondent and host Ari Shapiro shares "informative, touching and humorous stories" from his radio career in The Best Strangers in the World: Stories from a Life Spent Listening; and in his "incisive, thoughtful first book," The People's Hospital: Hope and Peril in American Medicine, physician Ricardo Nuila takes readers into the lives of his patients and shows how the American medical system failed them. Plus so much more!

In The Writer's Life, Pura Belpré Award-winner Juana Medina discusses how what could have been mere misfortune transformed into her new book, Elena Rides (reviewed in this issue).
