Among today's outstanding titles, you'll find Rules for Ghosting by Shelly Jay Shore, a story of queer healing and "the literary manifestation of an embrace that makes you feel safe enough to break down"; as well as Amy Reading's The World She Edited, a biography of early New Yorker editor Katherine S. White, that "gracefully synthesize[s] the overlapping aspects of White's life: professional, familial, social, marital, medical." Plus, the "creative and versatile" artist Jen Wang offers up Ash's Cabin, a graphic novel that follows "a young adult who seeks self, ancestry, and home in the California wilderness" by blazing a trail into the woods in search of a secret hideaway that once belonged to their grandfather.

In The Writer's Life, the mysterious Korean author Djuna lifts the veil ever so slightly to reveal the literary influences of their long career, up to their most recent collection of stories, Everything Good Dies Here, which blends an array of genres including zombie fiction and golden-age cinema.
