Biblioracle: Emily St. John Mandel proves herself a master of invention, yet again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Entering an Emily St. John Mandel novel over her last three novels is a simultaneously familiar and utterly disorienting experience, and I, for one, have been captivated by this tension, including in her most recent effort, “Exit Party.” Disorder is at the center of all of St. John Mandel’s books since 2014’s “Station Eleven,” which follows various characters, including a traveling theater troupe, in the aftermath of a pandemic that has resulted in mass death and depopulation. “The Glass Hotel”
Biblioracle: Is Marlon James’ new novel ‘The Disappearers’ the novel of the decade? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is not possible to write a wholly satisfactory review of Marlon James’ new novel “The Disappearers” within my weekly allotted space of 600 words. Truth be told, 600 words is always a bit snug for what I’d like to say about a book, but it is a particular challenge given the size and scope of this novel, more than 600 pages spanning multiple countries and almost 20 years with 40 or more characters of consequence, for which James thankfully provides a list at the novel’s beginning. The task beca
Biblioracle: Kurt Andersen’s speculative work ‘The Breakup’ is a one-of-a-kind book (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kurt Andersen’s new novel, “The Breakup,” is the culmination of a trilogy that started with two earlier nonfiction books, 2017’s “Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire,” and 2020’s “Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America: A Recent History.” Perhaps it sounds strange to think of a work of fiction as a trilogy with two nonfictional works, but Andersen’s project over the last decade-plus has been to map how we’ve devolved into a society where seemingly the most basic elements of fact and fiction ca
Biblioracle: Jacqueline Harpman’s ‘I Who Have Never Known Men’ has resurfaced thanks to BookTok (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the great things about books is that once they exist, they forever stand a chance of finding an audience, even many years after publication, even if they were not particularly notable at their first appearance. “Moby-Dick” famously stiffed, sales-wise, in Herman Melville’s lifetime, but was resurrected 80 years later and now retains its status as an American classic. More recently, John Williams’ “Stoner” went from a modestly published novel in the 1960s to sudden sensation via a Dutch tr
Biblioracle: ‘The Nerd Reich’ looks at tech industry billionaires’ impact on democracy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Describing the thesis of journalist and podcaster Gil Duran’s new book, “The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy,” makes it sound like a work of conspiracy theory. Essentially, a small group of tech industry billionaires, inspired by theories from an obscure book published in the 1990s, have organized to undermine and ultimately exit democratic rule in the United States, either through societal collapse or by establishing their own “sovereign states,” after which they wil
