An American Booksellers Association's Indie Next Great Read (December 2025) The story of an Indigenous girl’s kidnapping during a colonial…
expedition intertwines with a young woman’s modern-day search for identity and ancestral truths. In 1817, two German scientists traveled across Brazil and into the Amazon gathering flora and fauna to study and display in Europe. Among the collection they brought to the Bavarian court were two Indigenous children. The children’s images became widespread, satisfying European curiosity about the distant land they came from. But little was known about the children themselves. Despite the scientists’ detailed records about many of the plant and animal specimens, they only noted the children’s tribes: the girl was a Miranha, and the boy, a Juri. After a few months, the children died in Germany, far from anyone who knew their names. The Jaguar’s Roar, a spellbinding poetic novel told in many voices, imagines the children’s journey and a modern Brazilian woman’s effort to counter their disappearance from history. In her award-winning fifth novel, Micheliny Verunschk inhabits the fictional perspective of the Miranha girl, of the jaguar she conjures for protection, of the German scientists who determine her fate, and of the two rivers that frame her life. Intertwined in this narrative is a story of Brazil’s suppression of its Indigenous history, and of a young woman named Josefa, a newcomer unmoored in the megacity of São Paulo, who identifies with the girl after seeing her image in an exhibit and tries to recover the child’s voice and story. In Juliana Barbassa’s vivid translation, Verunshuk’s lyrical sentences carry the reader through a powerful exploration of memory, colonialism, and belonging, and make a lasting contribution to world literature.

An illuminating new collection from the latest winner of the Paz Prize for Poetry, selected by Germán Guerra and granted…
by the National Poetry Series; published in both English and Spanish MARÍA AUXILIADORA ÁLVAREZ’S winning entry of the Paz Prize for Poetry is in many ways a loving memoriam to her father, Oswaldo Álvarez Rojas, and a celebration of the long embrace that still warms María, her seven siblings, and their mother. Her poems explore sunlight as a metaphor for her father, holding her up from behind, illuminating her path forward, and also shining a light on memory, igniting nostalgia, and overcoming the grief of loss. Rainer Maria Rilke wrote, "Believe me, everything depends on this: to have had, once in your life, a sacred spring that fills the heart with so much light that it is enough to transfigure all coming days." In A Sun Behind Us, the poet’s father is the sacred spring. "My father," writes Álvarez, "is in all my writing, and his writing is in all my family, keeping us standing tall even after his sudden departure, following a brief illness. His positive influence is still the sun behind our back, projected beyond our horizon. The potent lighthouse in our life as nomads. Illuminated by the same ray of light, the eight children together form a compact stained-glass window, now dividing the fifty-two weeks of the year among ourselves, each taking our turn in caring for our mother beside the Florida sea, where she still smiles each morning. Even those who live far away travel without hesitation to fulfill a promise whispered along with our father's last breath." Álvarez’s book was selected for the Paz Prize for Poetry by the Cuban poet Germán Guerra. A Sun Behind Us/Un sol caído avanza representa el iluminado poemario ganador del Premio Paz de Poesía otorgado por la Serie Nacional de Poesía. El libro premiado en el año 2024 ha sido seleccionado por Germán Guerra y será publicado en edición bilingüe (español-inglés). Esta obra de MARÍA AUXILIADORA ÁLVAREZ, ganadora del Premio Paz de Poesía, es en muchos sentidos un recuento de la memoria y los mundos perdidos a consecuencia de la inmigración, como la familia, los amigos y la lengua. Es también un amoroso recuerdo de su padre, Oswaldo Álvarez Rojas, y una celebración del largo abrazo que se mantiene tibio en la memoria de María Auxiliadora, sus siete hermanos y su madre. Los poemas exploran la luz del sol como metáfora del padre sosteniéndolos detrás, iluminando su camino hacia adelante para arrojar luz sobre las sombras, encender la nostalgia y ayudar a superar el dolor de la pérdida. Según Rainer Maria Rilke, "todo depende de haber tenido, una vez en la vida, una primavera sagrada que llene el corazón de tanta luz que baste para transfigurar todos los días venideros". En A Sun Behind Us/Un sol caído avanza, el padre de la poeta representa la primavera sagrada. "Mi padre", escribe Álvarez, "está presente en toda mi escritura, y su escritura está presente en toda mi familia, manteniéndonos erguidos incluso después de su repentina partida tras una breve enfermedad. Su benéfica influencia sigue siendo el sol a nuestras espaldas, proyectá

The first major anthology devoted to women’s friendship drawn from fiction, diaries, poetry, and letters. As Marilynne Robinson writes in…
her 1980 novel, Housekeeping, "Having a sister or friend is like sitting at night in a lighted house." Bringing together work by more than 100 writers, The Book of Women’s Friendship explores the rich subject of friendship between women from every angle: its particular intensity and miraculous ease, its tendency to wax and wane, its role not only as a comfort and a privilege, but as vital to our health. Friendship has never been more highly debated, and loneliness more prevalent. Yet women’s friendships have repeatedly been neglected or minimized in storytelling, fallen by the wayside of male relationships. In the first major anthology dedicated to women’s friendship—and the first serious anthology about friendship published in more than three decades—editor Rachel Cooke looks to art to find the words to capture women’s platonic love. Compiling selections from novels, poems, diaries, letters, comics, and graphic novels about women’s friendship, she places work from a diverse array of artists in conversation across time and place. With excerpts from Jane Austen to Edith Wharton and Virginia Woolf, from Dolly Alderton to Sarah Waters, and from Zadie Smith to Meg Wolitzer, The Book of Women’s Friendship celebrates and investigates friendship between women, from first encounters to final farewells, from falling out to making up again. This book takes the shape of a human life, beginning with early efforts at friend-making and -breaking in childhood to chance collisions in adulthood. It contemplates (though not for too long) the flip side of friendship, which is not enmity, but loneliness; celebrates solidarity in all its guises; and ends with loss, the moment of goodbye. Warm, clever, and full of some of the most beautiful writing on friendship ever published, The Book of Women’s Friendship is also an act of friendship itself, dedicated to Cooke’s best friend, in the end becoming a book full of all the lovely, impossible, unsayable things that one friend might be moved to give to another.

A leading scholar draws on fifty years of reading and studying J.R.R. Tolkien to explain how he created an entire…
world. No writer has surpassed the epic achievement of J.R.R. Tolkien, who spent decades refining his Middle-earth—a world that has felt so real to so many readers that it is almost impossible to imagine that any single person could have simply created it, seemingly out of thin air. In The Tower and the Ruin, Michael D. C. Drout takes us deep into Tolkien’s genius, allowing us to glimpse the making of not only The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion but also lesser-known books such as The Fall of Gondolin as well as Tolkien’s poetry and innovative scholarship. Drout, who has spent decades reading, studying, and teaching Tolkien, allows us to understand the author’s methods and to embrace his works as never before. With great erudition and sparkling prose, Drout shows us how Tolkien invented myths, legends, cultures, languages, histories, and an intricate, multivocal narrative. We come to understand how Tolkien drew upon and modified material he found in Beowulf, the Kalevala, and other medieval literature from northern Europe, using the subtle qualities of those famous works as inspiration for his own. We also see the process by which he created the complex form of sorrow that is the primary emotional effect of his mature works, a sadness "blessed without bitterness," carefully woven through a tapestry of themes that has resonated with generations of readers. Sweeping and hugely perceptive—and enhanced throughout by Drout’s personal reflections on how Tolkien has shaped his own life and relationships—The Tower and the Ruin illuminates Tolkien anew and will come to be seen as an essential work for anyone who has journeyed to Middle-earth.

For fans of The Song of the Cell—a profusely, creatively illustrated journey through the origins and evolution of the building…
blocks of life, from an award-winning biologist and illustrator In the fifteenth century, as astronomers charted the skies and explorers mapped the globe, the nature of life itself remained a mystery. It wasn’t until the seventeenth century that Robert Hooke, looking through one of the earliest microscopes, coined the term cell. Nearly two centuries later, biologists established that all living organisms—from animals and plants to algae and fungi—are composed of cells. Around the same time, Charles Darwin introduced his theory of evolution, proposing that all life on Earth shares a common origin. Today, the scientific community has defined that origin as LUCA—the Last Universal Common Ancestor. Unraveling how LUCA—the ancestral cell—emerged billions of years ago and gradually evolved into the vast diversity of life-forms we see today is a fascinating journey through history, biology, and the essence of what it means to be alive. Blending art with science, biologist Christian Sardet takes you on an exploration of DNA, RNA, proteins, protists, viruses, cell reproduction, aging, death, and more. Written in clear, accessible language and accompanied by artful illustrations, Cells: The Illustrated Story of Life offers an authoritative and visually captivating overview of the building blocks of life. Designed for visual learners and curious minds alike, this immersive exploration of life and evolution brings readers up to date with the latest discoveries—revealing how cells function, how they have evolved, and why they fascinate us.

“An exemplary literary rebel.” —Sarah Kerr, The New York Review of Books“[Bolaño] demonstrates . . . what is possible in…
fiction—which is to say, anything.” —William Deresiewicz, The New RepublicNow I’m a mother and a married woman, but not long ago I led a life of crime. So begins the story of Bianca, whom a car crash has overnight left an orphan and, only a teenager herself, a caregiver to her younger brother. Abandoned by social services, the siblings drop out of school, attempt to survive on their late father’s meager pension, and lie around their family home in an apathetic stupor. Things take a turn for the bizarre when Bianca’s brother brings home from the gym a pair of dubiously intentioned strangers, who move in and make themselves the odd bedfellows of the siblings. When the housemates devise a scheme to escape their indigence—one that involves a blind, aging former bodybuilder, an eerie old house, a fabled fortune locked in a safe, and Bianca’s powers of seduction—she finds herself in a moral haze, forced to consider whether the act that could beget her future may also be her undoing. Taut, tense, and tragicomic, Roberto Bolaño’s A Little Lumpen Novelita tells a tale of dispossession, dreams, and the blurred line between fate and fortune.

“One of the greatest and most influential modern writers.” —James Wood, The New York Times Book Review“Bolaño is the real…
thing.” —n+1In the quiet Spanish seaside town of Z, a horrific crime has been committed: a coldblooded murder on a secret ice rink in the abandoned Palacio Benvingut. Who has been killed, by whom, and why? A tense, taut, utterly gripping narrative emerges from the jagged memories and whispered testimonies of our suspects: Remo Morán, a once poet at the helm of Z’s tourist industry; Gaspar Heredia, another once poet Remo sets up with a night watchman job at a seedy local campground; and Enric Rosquelles, a corrupt civil servant and tortured romantic. And at the center of their orbit is the beautiful, iron-willed figure skater Nuria Martí, just dropped from the Spanish national team and desperate to reclaim her place. As these characters fatefully collide, this tale of obsession, corruption, passion, and violence builds toward its inevitable, bloody conclusion. Haunting and propulsive, Roberto Bolaño’s The Skating Rink is a noir like no other: one that exposes the darkest sides of human nature and then angles its knife toward our very notion of truth.

author’s native Nigeria THE POEMS IN 82ND DIVISION, written in various forms including the villanelle, sonnet, blues poem, duplex, ode, and dramatic monologue, among many others, are collectively a love song to the author’s native Nigeria—a former British colony. In the book, whose title poem chronicles the lives of West African soldiers who fought alongside the British in World War II, Aderibigbe examines his homeland’s colonized past with brutal clarity and striking musicality, and considers how this past continues to shape every facet of his life and contemporary Nigerian life—be it the holidays that are celebrated, the preferred language of interaction among peers and friends, how a mother expresses love to her child, or the type of movies and snacks consumed. Beyond its thematic unity, lustrous language, and formal virtuosity, this sparkling collection is tied together by Aderibigbe’s graceful exploration of the humanity of the people, landscape, and histories that populate the book’s pages.

How to build stamina to confront racial exhaustion and communicate differently about raceIn the wake of diversity, equity, and inclusion…
initiatives, many Americans—regardless of race—find themselves exhausted by conversations about race and racism. People of color continue to bear the weight of systemic racism while also shouldering the burden of explaining and confronting daily microaggressions. White people, whether allies or skeptics, often feel defensive, fatigued, or uncertain about how to engage in discussions about race. Across the spectrum, the result is the same: exhaustion.Drawing from her experience running "Interrupting Privilege," a racial dialogue program, Ralina Joseph blends personal narrative, real-world dialogue, and critical race scholarship to explore how we communicate race today—and how we can do better. Through practices of deep listening, embracing discomfort, and interrupting microaggressions, this book guides readers in transforming everyday interactions into opportunities for anti-racist change. Racial Exhaustion challenges us to recognize and address the fatigue that racial discourse brings while offering practical strategies to foster more equitable and productive conversations.

reproduction are so familiar. Check out any authority over human lives—religious, medical, sociopolitical, familial, psychological—and you’ll find teachings about what people must, shouldn’t, may, and may not do with their reproductive organs. In this landscape of control, one active participant has been escaping its share of deserved attention. Semen is the quintessential hazardous substance, a fluid that delivers unique benefit along with unique risk, but until now nobody has set out to control it.In Making the Best of Semen Anita Bernstein sets out to manage a significant fluid that calls for much more attention that it receives. The benefits and harms that semen delivers when it travels onto mucosa are not only extraordinary: they also lie within the reach of regulation. Bernstein lays out the problem of unmentionability that shields semen from controls and documents the upheavals for which this substance is responsible. As the first book to broach regulation of semen, Making the Best of Semen focuses on the rendering of good things that semen regulation could furnish.

This book of theory and practice offers an unprecedented exploration of the nature of emotion and the process by which…
it changes. Written for mental health providers and psychotherapy researchers, this innovative and unique volume offers an extraordinary synthesis of psychotherapy research, neuroscience, and practical observations to propose a new paradigm of emotion change. The book presents a general theory of how a difficult emotional state changes. Integrating findings across treatment approaches, it resolves contradictions found in different lines of research and reconciles existing theories that have seemed at odds. It explains the different kinds of emotional change, the hypothesized mechanisms driving that change, and when each type of change is most applicable. Dr. Pascual-Leone demonstrates that having a clearer understanding of how emotion change happens enables clinicians to apply more impactful and effective interventions. Chapters explore everything from moment-by-moment work (through engagement, labeling, and expression) to broader process formulations (such as narrative, re-framing, and purpose in life). Extensive clinical examples help therapists get a better grip on what each kind of processing really means.
