MUST -READ- MORE : 3 BOOKS


 

THE CANDY HOUSE By Jennifer Egan

Egan's 2010 novel A Visit From the Goon Squad hooked readers with its imagination and intellect and won a Pulitzer Prize.

Now, more than a decade later, many of its characters return in The Candy House, which centers on a new technology, '' Own Your Unconscious, '' that allows people to save and share all their memories.

OF BLOOD AND SWEAT By Clyde W. Ford

Black Americans have long helped white people get - and stay - wealthy, but instead of their fair share, they've received brutality in return.

That's the central argument that Ford, a psychotherapist and the author of Think Black, makes in this deeply researched book.

He illustrates the many ways Black labor has been essential to agriculture, politics, medicine, law enforcement, and more, and makes clear that reparations are still due.

LET'S NOT DO THAT AGAIN By Grant Ginder

Nancy Harrison is running for Senate, and her biggest obstacles are her adult children, Greta and Nick.

Greta is making headlines for hurling a champagne bottle through a Paris restaurant window during a political riot.

Nick, who's floundering in his own way while writing a musical based on the works of Joan Didion,  accompanies his mother to France to bring Greta home and save the campaign.
