Our other notable series also have a slew of significant new books out. In the Literature Now series, John Brooks’s The Racial Unfamiliar examines abstractionist and genre-defying works by Black writers and artists, while Timothy Bewes’s already much-discussed and debated Free Indirect asks what kind of thought remains for the novel in the twenty-first century. From the Modernist Latitudes series, we have Hannah Freed-Thall’s Modernism at the Beach, which reads works by Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, Claude McKay, and Rachel Carson, among others, to explore the modernist beach as a queer refuge and a visionary threshold at the end of the world. The ever-popular Rereadings series offers up Freedom Reread, in which L. Gibson investigates his love-hate relationship with Jonathan Franzen.
