Story
When the New Yorker writer Rebecca Mead relocated to her birth city, London, with her family in the summer of 2018, she was both fleeing the political situation in America and seeking to expose her son to a wider world. With a keen sense of what she'd given up as she left New York, her home of thirty years, she tried to knit herself into the fabric of a changed London. The move raised poignant questions about place: What does it mean to leave the place you have adopted as home and country? And what is the value and cost of uprooting yourself?

Story
Becoming Los Angeles, a new collection by the author of the acclaimed memoir Holy Land, blends history, memory, and critical analysis to illuminate how Angelenos have seen themselves and their city. Waldie’s particular concern is commonplace Los Angeles, whose rhythms of daily life are set against the gaudy backdrop of historical myth and Hollywood illusion. It’s through sacred ordinariness that Waldie experiences the city’s seasons.

Story
When Seth Kantner's Ordinary Wolves was published, it was a literary revelation of sorts. In a raw, stylized voice, it told the story of a white boy growing up with homesteading parents in Arctic Alaska and trying to reconcile his largely subsistence and Native-style upbringing with the expectations and realities tied to his race. It hit numerous bestseller lists, was critically acclaimed, and won a number of awards.

Wieso wohnt das Glück in Osnabrück? Weshalb ist der "kleine Prinz" bei Diktatoren beliebt? Und warum sind die Türen in Dessau so niedrig? In seinen erstmals versammelten meisterhaften Reportagen und Betrachtungen schreibt Harald Martenstein die Biographie eines Landes, das sich so radikal und komisch gewandelt hat wie seine eigene Generation: von Heinz Erhardt zu Attac, von der Kneippkur zur Schwarmintelligenz.

Story
Do you hate gambling ads, pre-ripped jeans and pedestrians who walk five abreast? Do you also have a problem with plastic-wrapped fruit, climate-change deniers and take-away sandwiches priced at $14.95?

Heartfelt and hilarious, serious but sly, Best Wishes is the Encyclopedia of 'Can Do Better'. It's a plea for a better world – one wish at a time.
