Summary
Valeria Luiselli’s innovative new novel asks us to imagine the pain and sacrifice in the lives of those who arrive at the American border. Esmé Weijun Wang’s essays give us a firsthand idea of what it’s like to experience schizophrenia.Also this week: A look at America’s “territorial empire,” an ingenious satirical novel, a memoir about grief and Virginia Woolf, the biography of a powerful and influential first lady, and Elizabeth McCracken’s long-awaited new novel, “Bowlaway.”John WilliamsDaily Books Editor and Staff WriterLEADING MEN, by Christopher Castellani. (Ecco/HarperCollins, $27.99.) McCracken’s long-awaited new novel offers a rich family saga, a history of candlepin bowling and a burlesque chronicle of American oddballs. Whether challenging whiteness or misogyny within the black community, the author succeeds in her mission to tell “evocative stories that become a problem for power.” It should be required reading for anyone interested in making “trust black women” more than a hollow social media mantra.Follow New York Times Books on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, sign up for our newsletter or our literary calendar.
