Among this week's line-up of outstanding nonfiction: James Tate's Hell, I Love Everybody opens with "Goodtime Jesus," which concludes with the line used as the book's title, "and from there the collection unfurls, one brilliant, comically absurd poem after another"; and Old Town Road, Chris Molanphy's investigation of the staying power of Lil Nas X's song, "a masterful and entertaining piece of cultural studies." And adult author Darcy Coates's first YA book, Where He Can't Find You, is "an eerie and viscerally frightening work of horror" about a former coal mining town terrorized by "the Stitcher." Plus so much more!
And don't miss American Royals author Katharine McGee's speculation about why U.S. citizens pine for royalty in The Writer's Life.
