This week we spotlight Bitch: On the Female of the Species by Lucy Cooke, in which the British zoologist and TV documentarian "upends received wisdom" about females in the animal kingdom; Kiersten White's Wretched Waterpark, "gothic mystery at its finest"; and a tribute to 79 drag elders in Legends of Drag: Queens of a Certain Age, a "beautifully designed photography book" by Harry James Hanson and Devin Antheus; plus many more!
In The Writer's Life, veteran translator Chip Rosetti talks about the international writers that shaped his thinking, and the book that hooked him on travel writing, both contemporary and ancient.
