Beschreibungen/Notizen
The fall bOOk Season reflects the times--war, climate change, disease, social upheaval-lending a decidedly wistful tinge to the offerings. The last few years have seen people looking inward in a deeper, more personal way, while they also look outward, striving to change the social landscape. To this end, readers can anticipate a new crop of great novels for curling up with and cookbooks to tempt them back into the warmth of the kitchen, but there are also books that make readers question notions of home and where they fit in the world. Conversations about race, past injustices, and a better future continue to be explored in this season's titles, pushing ever onward for better understanding and vital change. Reflecting the need for a different approach, but also the desire for the comfort of familiarity, retold stories take center stage, offering new insight to help readers look at themselves with fresh eyes and at the stories with a deeper understanding. Lastly, offering both solace and challenge, there are volumes of poetry and songs to sustain readers as they navigate the future.
